Apple Faces New China Worker Abuse Claims

AmiMoJo writes "Technology giant Apple is facing fresh allegations of worker rights violations at Chinese factories of one of its suppliers, the Pegatron Group. China Labor Watch has alleged that three factories of Pegatron violate a 'great number of international and Chinese laws and standards.' These include underage labour, contract violations and excessive working hours. Li Qiang, executive director of China Labor Watch, claimed that 'our investigations have shown that labour conditions at Pegatron factories are even worse than those at Foxconn factories.' The campaign group said that it had found that average weekly working hours in the three factories investigated by it were approximately 66 hours, 67 hours, and 69 hours, respectively."

Apple is rotten to the core

[Steve_Ussler]

What the world needs to realize is that no pun intended, Apple is rotten to the core. They are just as evil as Monsanto. They are just as evil as every other evil company. Just because Steve Jobs was awesome does not make Apple awesome. They abuse their workers.
