Presumably he'd point you toward https://www.apple.com/supplier-responsibility/ https://www.apple.com/supplier-responsibility/, especially the "2017 Progress Report" toward the top of that page.
Edit: I don't post that to defend Cook/Apple, just to point out that Apple has done quite a bit of talking about this topic since the bad old days when they really did need to make some changes. Have they done "enough"? I have no idea, and would love to hear someone knowledgable criticize the steps they've taken so far.
- jly 9y agoI opened this up just for fun. I'll start by saying I do think Apple is doing quite a bit in this regard and are pushing things forward towards better working conditions. Having said that, what is still considered "acceptable" and worthy of touting is pretty sad, although I guess it is compared with where we they were just a few years ago. Flipping to page 9, they list 98% compliance with international working hours limits, touting "Full-time doesn't mean you should work all the time." Compliant in this case is a 60-hour workweek with 1 day off every 7 days (presumably this is not an occasional duration but rather a normal week at a fixed wage). If this is the case, technology sure isn't serving these unlucky humans very well.
