    “The employees are paid above average and have little to do,” Loening said, noting that the plant was only used for “technical commissioning and deliveries to dealers in the region”.

    “We were unable to identify any special security measures,” he added.

      Yeah this particular piece of data isn’t gonna go on top of my list lmao. Major corporate audits like this also frequently find that they’re not culpable for child labor when they are, shit like that.
