The day after Apple announced record profits, a new report provides a detailed look at the conditions of the employees of its suppliers in China have been affected.
The company, which reported $ 13000000000 profit yesterday, has been plagued by reports of long hours, unsafe working conditions and workers' physical punishment factories that make parts for its popular devices. Dozens have been injured and killed in the explosions and other accidents, a handful of plants.
Year span of seven months of last year, two explosions at the iPad factories in China, including Chengdu facility killed four and injured 77, according to the New York Times. In a comprehensive profile of Times reporters David Barboza and Charles Duhigg to name the man's face, and sometimes pay the price for profit, spotlighting the final months of one of those workers who died that day in Chengdu.
It is unclear whether the alleged unsafe working conditions are covered in depth. Apple already adopted a code of conduct with suppliers, but the Cupertino computer maker did not immediately respond to request for comment on CNET tonight.
The report focuses on the explosion at a plant in Chengdu, southwest China, in May last year killed four and injured in the 18th Chinese TV showed the clouds of dark smoke from the building and there were fears that the building collapse was imminent.
At the end of 2010, Lai Xiaodong, 22-year professional, moved to Chengdu, southwest China city of 12 million, which has become one of the world's most important manufacturing hubs. Ground $ 22 Lai day job repairing machinery factory of Foxconn Technology, which was being produced for the iPad. (Foxconn has plants all over China, and produces about 40 percent of the global consumer electronics companies such as Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, Dell and Sony.)
Apple's Supplier Code of Conduct states that plant workers do not work more than 60 hours per week, except in an emergency or extraordinary circumstances. However, according to the Times:
Mr. Lai will soon be spending 12 hours a day, six days a week the factory, according to his paychecks. Employees, who arrived late were sometimes required to write a confession letter and a copy of the quotations. There was "constantly shift," where employees were told to work on two stretches of sequence, according to interviews.
At the end of the day, wide bedroom retreat is just large enough for a bed, which he shared with his girlfriend. Many of his co-workers were not as privileged, the company dorms house 70,000 employees, often squeezing 20 people into a three-bedroom apartment, according to the report.
Following the example of other tech companies, Apple decided in 2005 that it is necessary to guide "to Apple's supply chain working conditions are safe, that workers are treated with respect and dignity that the manufacturing processes are environmentally responsible." The company, which deals with annual audits of its suppliers of components, recently announced that it increased its audits of 80 percent compared to the 2010th
Apple said in its latest progress report (PDF), which appeared in Chengdu after the explosion, he is "significantly" reduced child labor cases, but the 60-hour work week rule is complied with only 38 percent of the time. The company also found "some violations" of its code of environmental compliance requirements, as they explore the 14 facilities, resulting in 58 of its facilities to treat air pollution systems.
Two weeks before the explosion of Chengdu, a support group warned of dangerous conditions (PDF) report to the factory. A group of students and scholars Against Corporate disorder, known as the safety and health topics in Chengdu "alarming"
"Employees do not have adequate training in the use of chemicals and is not a regular health check-post. Workers also highlighted the problem of poor ventilation and inadequate personal protective equipment."
A copy was sent to Cupertino, but the group did not receive a response, according to The Times.
Two hours after the shift is wide, a series of explosions shook the building. Despite being burned over 90 percent of their body, Lai happened two days. After the ashes of his family, offering a wide Foxconn also wired $ 150,000 check to the family.
As confusing as all this is, perhaps there is hope for overseas employees of Apple's announcement that it has joined the Fair Labor Association, and it offers greater transparency when it comes to their products.
In a recent report of why the success of some U.S. companies have not led to more jobs in the United States, The New York Times noted that almost all products Apple sold last year were manufactured abroad.
As there is currently unknown to the Apple executive draws Times: "You can if the production is a comfortable, worker-friendly factories, or you can invent a product every year and it is better and faster, and cheaper, which requires plants that appear harsh by U.S. standards. And right now, customers care more about the new iPhone when the working conditions in China. "
