one bad one spoils the bunch
apple admitted that the company that can usually do no wrong had hired underage workers at three plants outside of the u.s. where iphones and computers are made. the report said “Across the three facilities, our auditors found records of 11 workers who had been hired prior to reaching the legal age, although the workers were no longer underage or no longer in active employment at the time of our audit.” legal working age in the countries is 16.
in addition to the age problem, the report noted that the company overworks and underpays their employees, “two dozen facilities that were paying their people less than the minimum required wage and another 57 that were cheating workers out of legally required benefits — things like sick time and maternity leave. Some factories even cut workers’ wages for “disciplinary purposes.”
maybe that’s why it’s hard to type on the keyboard. it’s made by people with little hands.
