The Other Side of Apple - Must see for anyone who has an iPod or iPhone!

Though I love Apple, they should not be doing business with factories who poison their workers. It's important that Apple take responsibility and act on their commitments that ALL their suppliers provide safe working conditions. (see www.apple.com/supplierresponsibility) As a Mac user I don't want to support this and I've decided to not buy another Apple product until they address these problems...

@0326hkim take a wild guess as to where your Samsung galaxy is made.

But working for more than 14 hours a day and getting paid (yes) but (less) than what you're meant to be getting is a different story. That's why they're committing suicide. Still like democracy better than dictatorship

Last time I checked, one has to apply for a job... I used to do construction and I was around all kinds of danger from sharp objects, chemicals, to really high places. And then I found another career... And you're not a slave if you get paid... Just saying

Ecco perchè, incosciamente, odio questo marchio!

All the liberals in San Francisco who support and love apple products you don't live by what you preach. Hypocrites. Stop buying the products from this slave labor company.

Either way, this is still sad and disgusting. No one should be working in those harmful conditions, for that long, in a cramped, hot room, treated like slaves, feeling like crap all the time, ugh.
