| 2008 | -1000 | Internal restructuring: Mattel removes 3% of its global workforce.: | AFP |
| 2006 | | ILO violation 1 : On 22 July workers from the Merton Company Ltd. (a/k/a Hengli Factory) which employs some 10,000 workers in Dongguan, Guangdong Province and which reportedly supplies toys to Disney, McDonalds, Mattel and Hasbro, protested against low wages and poor living conditions. In the evening, factory security and police sent in riot control vehicles and personnel to control the riot but the following day the conflict intensified and some one thousand workers joined the affray with scores injured. Scores of workers were then detained but later believed to be released.: China | |
| 2006 | | ILO violation 1,131 : Employees at a factory in southern China which produces toys for Mattel and other firms typically work 11 hours a day, six days a week, and rack up to 70 hours of overtime a month. This violates China's labor law, which stipulates workers shall not work for more than 40 hours a week and 35 hours of overtime a month, it said. The factory deducts salary if workers refuse to work overtime and does not pay workers for taking national holidays, vacation or sick leave, according to the group. Overtime is not paid 1.5 times the regular rate as required by the law, it said. There is no base salary for workers, who are paid at piece rate. Salaries range between 600 and 800 yuan (75 and 100 usd) a month. More than 1,000 workers rioted over poor working conditions on July 2006. It took more than 100 factory policemen, riot squads and security guards to control the situation. Many people were injured and dozens of workers were arrested, according to China Labor Watch.: China | Forbes |
| 2006 | -200 | The jobs will largely be cut from the company's headquarters in El Segundo, Calif. and represent about 1 percent of Mattel's worldwide staff. The cuts will be made through a combination of layoffs, attrition, retirements and elimination of open positions.: United States of America | AP |
