Apple supplier audit reveals sub-minimum wage pay and records of underage labor. /Alfonso
[Audit di Apple sulle fabbriche rivela che..] more than half (54 percent) of all factories failing to meet Apple’s already inflated maximum 60-hour work week, 24 percent paying less than the minimum wage, 37 percent failing to respect anti-discrimination rules, and three facilities holding records of employing a total of eleven 15-year olds (who were over the legal age of 16 or had left by the time of the audit).
Apple is, predictably, not jazzed about the situation, and has taken action through train-the-trainer schemes, threats of business termination with recidivist plants, and — most notably — the recovery of $2.2 million in recruitment fees that international contract workers should not have had to pay.
...it’s disappointing to hear Apple’s note that most of the 102 audited manufacturers said Cupertino was the only vendor to perform such rigorous compliance checks.
... the very existence of this report...is an encouraging sign that corporate responsibility is being taken seriously.
Anche non fosse vero che altri 102 non facevano questi controlli e Apple fosse l'unica, la cosa che importa e' che li facesse.

Mi sai dire il nome di un'altra azienda (a parte Apple, intendo) per un prototipo della quale un dipendente sia stato "suicidato"?
