Independent Audit Finds Foxconn Violates Chinese Work Rules

Posted by samzenpus on from the history-repeating dept.

doston writes "The first independent audit of Apple's supply chain found excessive working hours and health and safety issues at its largest manufacturer, piling more pressure on the technology giant. This investigation targeted Hon Hai Precision Industry which is known as Foxconn. The company says they will try to stop their overtime criminality by July, 2013. Will the public ever sour on Apple devices in light of the constant media attention on supplier working conditions?"

    Actually they are better than the other manufacturers. How many of the other firms who use Foxconn are doing even a fraction of what Apple is doing for the betterment of the people making their products? Oh right, none of them are.
