Your statement is like looking at steel mill conditions in the early 1900's in Pittsburgh and the people on wall street saying... "Well, why are they pissed? Its not like its slavery."
Just because other Chinese working conditions suck doesn't mean that its right. Yeah, so maybe the pay isn't as high because the cost of living is lower, but that doesn't mean you treat people like crap when they are making you filthy rich just because "everbody does it".
- deelowe 14y agoNo, it's like looking at a steel mill in the 1900's and pointing the finger at our government to do something about it. Which we did and it got fixed. Resolution didn't come from journalists going around bashing all the companies that purchased US steel. Resolution came from the government enacting better labor laws. Also, it wasn't just steel. It was steel, oil, coal and many other industries. Which, I'd argue is the same issue in China.
- pm90 14y agoThe situations are similar not same Unfortunately, the Chinese govt. is not the same as the US govt., w.r.t how it treats its own people. So appealing to their govt. will not work. Appealing to Apple might?
