Policy #65: Child Labor in EV Batteries Mixed
For: Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (P.L. 117-78), signed Dec 23, 2021. Congress.gov: H.R. 6256 Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (congress.gov)
Listed in the research as: Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL) & Jeff Merkley (D-OR)
Verdict: Child and forced labor in battery supply chains is a real moral failure, and US policy treated it inconsistently. It was strict where China was the target, close to silent on DRC artisanal mining, and it subsidized EVs without requiring traceable minerals.
