Forced Labor.  The Supplier, and all of its sub-Suppliers, contractors and affiliates (hereinafter “Supplier”) will not use any forced labor, indentured labor, slavery, or servitude.  The Supplier will not engage in any human trafficking.  The materials incorporated into the Supplier’s products will comply with the laws regarding slavery and human trafficking of the countries in which the Supplier does business.
    3. Wages and Hours.  The Supplier will establish working hours, wages and overtime pay in compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations.
