Apple unfreeze their 2010 update on Supplier Responsibility today . And hey ! agree to Apple , Apple ’s doing a great task ! But given late events , should they really have give themselves such high marks ?
There ’s no doubtfulness that some of what Apple ’s done with their supply chain is commendable . They ’ve made efforts to protect jejune workers , and are actively protect foreign contract workers from fall into ram labor . All of this should be commended .
But recent headline have paint a unlike picture about conditions at Apple provider . A reporterwas attackedlast month outside a Foxconn plant for fill exposure . Workers at a Foxconn factory in Mexicoburned the place downover the weekend to protest storm overtime . And just yesterday study surfaced that a prole at a Wintek plantdied of N - hexane poisoninglast twelvemonth . To say nothing of the Foxconn employee whocommitted suicideover a leak iPhone prototype last summer .

So while I ’m sure the Supplier Responsibility Progress Report is go to go over majuscule at Apple ’s stockholder encounter on Thursday , and while they ’ve definitely done admirable things to meliorate the condition of their worker , I ca n’t help but consider that there ’s still a whole mess of progress left to make .
