Exhibition Spotlights Child Labor in Lithium and Cobalt Mines
A thought-provoking exhibition, 'Carbon, Oil, Diamonds: Burned Lives', has sparked dialogue about work conditions in mines at Magmax. Union representatives, including Massimo Umberto Tomalino and Luca Quagliotti, have highlighted the ongoing issue of child labor in lithium and cobalt mines, which supply materials for global electronics and electric vehicles.
The temporary exhibition, which focused on work conditions in mines and the use of technology in production processes, has brought these issues to the forefront. Despite the lack of public naming of companies involved, it is known that children in Congo work in cobalt mines that contribute to the supply chain of global industries.
Magmax Association's president, Massimo Umberto Tomalino, emphasized the need for greater awareness about these work conditions. He was joined by Luca Quagliotti, general secretary of Asti Cgil, who drew a parallel between historical mine work conditions and the current child labor crisis in lithium and cobalt mines. Quagliotti's comparison sheds light on the enduring challenges faced by workers in the mining industry.
The 'Carbon, Oil, Diamonds: Burned Lives' exhibition has raised important questions about work conditions in mines and the role of technology in production processes. Union representatives have called for increased awareness and action to address the ongoing issue of child labor in lithium and cobalt mines.
