The absolute force as a top trendsetting computer, iPod, and iPhone maker Apple iPad today an interesting review of its component manufacturers in the Far East presented. For months, it has its business partners as regards the working conditions of the mostly subjected to South-East Asia employed people. Now, the company released its report on the results of the investigation. Therefore attests to the particular contract manufacturer Foxconn, which already last year due to a number of suicides in the Workforce was in the headlines, a positive development to the point (well, probably never was worse!). Apple worked out according to their own statements on the ground with his team suggest how the working conditions and psychological care can be improved by employees. As a result, in the works of Foxconn such as health centers have been established which are staffed around the clock.
How to perform according to the report, have the "apple company" in the course of the investigation set to work with three suppliers completely after this, the working conditions of their workers are not at expected levels improved. Apple had the review of its suppliers exacerbated when the prevailing working conditions were broadly to the public. The contract manufacturers are typically does business in many IT companies, but Apple came mainly in the firing line because the company with its iPhone iPads and rides on a big wave of success.
For on-site visits, for example, 91 children have been found, who worked in factories. At least one supplier knew that working with him and saw young people largely ignored this fact. The cooperation was therefore terminated. With several other companies were reported to have better Test methods and management methods developed to prevent future that minors get a job with some forged documents. Generally you should not point the finger only at Apple. For the complete mobile phone industry likes to use the cheap labor from a distance. On the local situation and conditions of work which looked like large get over it, not only in Asia. The main thing is true of the profit at the end. Even with the raw materials for the production of mobile phones are no better. Especially important for mobile phone production minerals come mostly from African conflict zones and used to finance bloody civil wars. It is also something cynically say: Our mobile phone world that we should always give the feeling of boundless freedom rests on the freedom of developing countries. Where is the word "developing country" here has become so now become very ambiguous!
But last Sunday we had here in the potash district way back our traditional church layer. The theme of this year's service was "living and working in Africa and Germany!" Together with many miners and representatives of the African continent, we noticed an entertaining service on the legs. Then we went to the mountain parade in our community center to also traditionally become Tscherperfrühstück. Which was of course a little longer than the general breakfast time. Mountain folks because we 'are known to cross good people' who wear the leather against the A ... and drink booze! At least it is indeed so in the lyrics from the song Steiger!
