- sek 15y agoIsn't this sad? This should be no matter at all, bad working conditions is something of the past century. Enabling the next revolution should be the biggest challenge for them.
- jkmcf 15y agoWorker rights in China are still in the early 1900s, or worse, their policies are feudal.
- sek 15y agoBut Apple is not a company of the early 1900s, remember what Jobs tried with Next. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhfUKEu7sJ0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhfUKEu7sJ0 That is something that would suit a company like Apple.
- swombat 15y agoKind of ironic that the appalling working conditions of the 1900s are largely what gave rise to communism. Although based on what I know, the average 1900s factory worker would have sold their mother for Foxconn's working conditions.
- abdurraheem 15y agoIts easy to forget that unacceptable working conditions are not exclusive of china or even the tech manufacturing industry, see sago mine disaster, west virginia, 2006. Conditions for the working poor worldwide have a ways to go, and it seems to me Apple is taking a step in the right direction with independent investigation.
- quesera 15y agoI believe Gruber intended irony there, i.e. Apple is leading the industry in every measurable way on this issue, but are perhaps not as far ahead here as they are in other respects.
