Tim Cook has tried to be a better person. Or at least, to look like one. Last year, Apple's CEO personally flew to China to have a look around Foxconn, the company's controversial supplier. Reports about migrant laborers' deplorable working conditions and low pay, as well as a spate of suicides were damaging Apple's image, so Cook promised improvements and also scouted around for new factories where the company's iPads, iPhones and computers could be produced. One of Apple's new partners is the Taiwanese electronics manufacturing company Pegatron, which operates several factories in China. But it recently transpired its workers are even worse off than those at Foxconn.

 

In a report called "Apple's Unkept Promises," set to be published this week, China Labor Watch (CLW) reaches a sobering conclusion: (((Over 10,000 student workers allegedly work in Apple's partner factories and many "interns" are aged between 16 and 18.))) Schools and teachers pocket a part of their wages in the form of "transportation and registration fees." One student who was majoring in pre-school education had to sign a six-month contract. Such student labor is not uncommon in China.

 

The incriminating report is based on research by several CLW investigators who worked undercover in factories manufacturing Apple computers, iPads and iPhones. They conducted over 200 interviews with their colleagues and made some shocking discoveries.
