Folens launches inquiry into claims Indian print staff paid just €3 a day

Irish schoolbook publisher Folens has launched an investigation into claims that a factory in India is paying workers as little as €3 for 10-hour shifts printing some of its titles.

The revelation comes at a time when Folens has implemented price hikes on some of its print products.

In a statement yesterday, Folens said that it was “very concerned by allegations regarding a company with which we have had previous commercial dealings”.
