  • About Workers’ Rights
  • At AsiaNetworks, we believe in our mission that we help good people do great things. We value
    people we work with, including our customers, suppliers, and everyone they work with. We encourage
    American lab owners to fully explain the pros and cons of outsourcing with their staff. We also
    want people to know that outsourcing with us helps improve their competitiveness rather than take
    their jobs away. When we work with our Chinese labs, we work only with people we trust. That
    includes the time-honored honesty in everything they do, fair labor practice, and treating workers as
    decent human beings in an extended family. We tour their facilities many times a year, talk to their
    technicians, and work closely with their support staff. Since their establishment in China, our lab
    partners have helped thousands of men and women from rural China to work in a healthy and friendly
    environment, learn useful life skills and dental techniques, while earn a decent wage to support their
    families. We are please to report that the wages of average workers in our partner labs are among
    the highest in the business. Lab workers are also provided housing on site, meals, and uniforms.  

Brightly lit cubicles and work stations are just like what one would see in the U.S. New
recruit and on the job training is done by videos and hands-on apprenticeship. The dental
lab work environment is preferred by many girls because it’s much cleaner and less boredom.








Living Environment:
Employees live in company provided dorms with rooms sleeping four to six workers. Each
room is equipped with a bathroom and air conditioning. Although the beds have no
mattresses and the floors are not carpeted, these facilities are way better than most factory
workers living conditions in China. Many lab workers who came from countryside have never
had toilet or running water in their homes.










Meals:
Keeping workers fed are an important task for managers. Pictured here are workers having
lunch in the cafeteria. Mostly girls between the ages of 18 and 25, they are provided three
meals a day. Here, a taste of democracy is also offered. Workers get to vote by casting their
ballots into one of the two boxes after each meal whether they like the food or not. Chefs
are paid by the quality food they cook for the workers, indicated by the percentage of Yes
votes. There is also a small convenience store on site for snacks, ice cream, and other daily
essentials.
