Fair Trade Practices of The ERGO Baby Carrier, Inc.
The ERGO Baby Carrier, Inc. is happy to share this information about our factory in China. We want you to know that during our Board Member's regular visits, we are treated like family. Their conviction and commitment to the ERGO is strongly communicated to us in all of our meetings and exchanges. Together we are dedicated to high quality products for our customers. We work as a team and show concern for one another. The factory is made up of fine people individually and collectively and the integrity of what they do is important to them. We are proud of our shared camaraderie.
The factory has high standards that ensure care, honesty, fairness and respect. Workers are paid minimum wage and are paid by the hour from 9 am to 5 pm Monday thru Saturday. There is a lunch break and a one-hour naptime mid day. Benefits are overtime pay, holidays, and bonuses. They are allowed one day off every week. They also receive cash incentives and bonuses during the Spring Festival.
Only workers 18 years old and above are accepted to work in the factory. The total factory work force is 100. Some of the workers come from Northern China. The majority, however, live near the city and neighboring areas. These workers are reimbursed for their transportation expenses and housing assistance is provided for workers who have to rent their lodging. Workers are required to wear protective clothing (uniform/lab-gown/masks) during factory operations. Technicians on a weekly basis check machines and equipment.
