It’s better than them doing nothing, however. If they cannot get an employer to play by the rules, they terminate the relationship. I’d sure like to see HP’s labour relations record.

When whats really happening is a small factory in the far east, is hiring people a few weeks before they are of legal working age. and probably to support a family.

It’s really not the end of the world, or even close to it.

Here, let me do some of the work for you:

Page 18: ” When Apple investigated further, we uncovered additional records and conducted worker interviews that revealed excessive working hours and seven days of continuous work. When confronted with this information, the facility provided Apple with accurate timecards. Based on the repeat core violation and inadequate actions, Apple is TERMINATING all business with this facility.”

Does that sound like consequences to you? Sure does to me.

How about this:

Page 4: “As a result of our audits and corrective actions, foreign workers have been reimbursed $2.2 million in recruitment fee overcharges.”

Page 12: “Working with the consultant, the facility implemented a new payroll system to ensure proper wage calculations. Apple also required the facility to repay workers whose piece-rate pay had resulted in underpayment during the previous year—bringing their monthly pay up to the level of minimum wage.”

I don’t know how to say this politely, but RTF Report.

And get of your moral high horse where it’s fashionable to act all superior while doing nothing and sacrificing nada. The report isn’t about Apple merely investigating, it’s about Apple investigating AND DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
