Such a joke , the 75 billion dollar company had no issues in the last decade knowing the labor conditions the people were working under. It’s so easy to do these things when you’ve made enough money. Don’t pretend to care now to make other company’s look bad. It makes me sick, they were informed like everyone else about conditions but they took advantage of the cheap labor. Everyone is a false angel, like the ex drug dealer turned rapper saying they changed there life around. Take the money away and they will be back to there old self without regret. I’m all for justice but it’s easy to see through apple.

Hahahahahahahahaha. This is the funniest story I have ever read. I’d like to see a report on their manufacturing plants in China a few years ago. You make me laugh apple, but spin makes your company seem oh so squeaky clean.

Here is an analysis of the FLA’s standards. They are clearly another
corporate front to give the appearance of propriety. citinv (dot) it/associazioni/CNMS/archivio/strategie/doc_globalexchange.html

The FLA has long been criticized as a corporate-funded and corporate-controlled body, and is far from a truly independent monitoring organization. That said, Apple’s disclosure of production sites, even though far from complete, iand their tacit recognition of their responsibility for conditions in those factories, are big wins for the anti-sweatshop movement.
