| Subject: Statist idiot: Philippine fire factory owners 'immoral': labour chief Fri May 15, 2015 4:10 am | |
| The Philippines' labour chief on Friday described the owners of a footwear factory where a fire claimed 72 lives this week as "immoral", telling AFP they illegally exploited their workers.
Labour Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said the owners of Kentex Manufacturing had broken employment laws that were meant to guarantee minimum salaries, pensions and social security.
?They are not only illegal, they are immoral. This employer, they don't have a sense of social responsibility," Baldoz told AFP in an exclusive interview.
Seventy-two workers died when a fire tore through Kentex's two-storey factory, which produced cheap sandals and slippers for the local market, in an industrial district of the Philippine capital on Wednesday.
Welding that was being carried out close to inflammable chemicals ignited the fire, according to local authorities.
