Inside Apple Computer's Prison

ABC TV's Nightline tonight included a report by Bill Weir on FoxCon, the factory in China responsible for making the IPad and other Apple products. FoxCon did a great job of covering up their bad treatment of their employees. They even did well in hiding the under-aged children that were previously identified in a PBS report. The spokesperson was somewhat convincing in ultimately blaming the workers' suicides on the workers themselves and, of course, taking no part of the blame. $1.78 per hour, 16 hours per day........what would you call that type of working environment! Seeing that the President of ABC sits on the board of Apple Computer, it is no wonder that all the workers vunrabilities were highlighted in the report instead of discussing FoxCon's slavery practices.
