Recently, the National Labor Committee exposed egregious worker's rights violations routinely taking place at a Microsoft-contracted KYE facility in China. Among these violations were the use of child labor, sexual harassment, poor conditions, and workers being forced to remain on-site at the facility under threat of termination. One product produced at this facility is Xbox videogame controllers. We, the undersigned, wish to send a clear message that gamers -- your customers -- will not tolerate situations such as those present at KYE. We hereby demand that Microsoft cease operations with KYE and any/all other manufacturing facilities that operate under these horrid practices. Gamers will not have human rights violations perpetrated in their name.

I am currently finalizing a formal letter to Microsoft corporate headquarters detailing the documented labor abuses at the KYE facility. The goal is to establish a clear paper trail regarding their manufacturing partners. I will report back once I receive an official response to these inquiries.
