BBC Says Apple’s Chinese Factory Conditions Not Improved

A new documentary from the British news source claims that, four years after a series of suicides drew attention to substandard conditions at Apple’s primary Chinese manufacturer, another factory and possibly some tin mines in Indonesia continueto violate the tech giant’s guidelines. The factory, Taiwan’s Pegatron,required workers to attend meetings without pay, work dozens of days in a row without break, and to live in overcrowded dormitories, according to undercover BBC reporters. Apple says claims that conditions have not improved at its factories are untrue, and that it conducted 630 in-person audits of suppliers in 2014.
