You condone slavery? It’s okay to profit from it?
Yes
Exactly what “slaves” are you referring to? The workers in China on the Apple assembly lines are paid competitive or better than competitive wages. In fact, when there are openings on the Apple assembly lines on the TAIWANESE FoxConn plant assembly line for Apple products, workers queue up by the THOUSANDS to apply for those positions because the pay is averages 50% better than similar assembly work for other Consumer Electronics goods.
Add to the fact that working conditions are better on Apple assembly lines due to Apple’s very strict worker condition contracts which are monitors by Apple having its own Apple employed monitors at every location to assure that working conditions meet those standards. Apple has actually pulled multi-billion dollar contracts from suppliers who did not meet those standards. Such requirements exist from bottom to top in Apple’s supply chain.
The claim that “slavery” exists in Apple’s supply chain is a myth promulgated by a New York based non-profit called China Labor Watch which has been caught using faked videos, faked translations purporting to be interviews with workers supposedly who were complaining about conditions on Apple’s assembly lines, but actual Chinese speakers listening to the actual voices find they aren’t saying what the English translation of China Watch’s translation says they were saying.
As I said, Apple’s contracts with it’s supply chain prohibit any such practice and also prohibit underage employees. The penalties are draconian.
Incidentally, FoxConn assembles and/or manufactures consumer electronics for over 500 brand name CE makers around the world, not just Apple. . . Probably even the device you are using to post your scurrilous assertion against Apple. Meanwhile Apple is assembling iPhones and Macs in China, India, Brazil, Ireland, and even manufacturing several models of iMac and the Mac Pro in the USA.
