Apple Promises to Improve Working Conditions

That fancy little piece of technology you have was probably made by slave labor. Apple isn't the only company that exploits the poor all over the world, but they are in the  news for promising to make changes at their China plant. Apple products, which are known for their high price tags, are made on the cheap employing some of the cheapest labor on the planet.

Now, many companies have been caught using slave labor and promised to make changes. They make the promise then the stories go away and in reality nothing changes. As soon as the spot light goes away so do the changes.

 I don't know if that is going to happen in the case of Apple but it would be shocking if it didn't. It is just too easy to take advantage of poor people, no matter where they live.

Want to read about Apple and their vow to improve working conditions? Here you go.
