It's amazing how the media attacks Chick-Fil-A for making donations to Christian groups. And at the same time won't touch Apple for all the human rights violations in their supply chain.
If you have an iPad, I dare you to watch this
In 2005, the horrific conditions were brought to light so Apple created a standard for supplier responibility. Seven years later, after two explosions in the iPad factories, this is Apple's audit on themselves.
Some highlights:
93 facilities had records that indicated more
than 50 percent of their workers exceeded
weekly working hour limits of 60 in at least
1 week out of the 12 sample period.
At 90 facilities, more than half of the records
we reviewed indicated that workers had
worked more than 6 consecutive days at
least once per month, and 37 facilities lacked
an adequate working day control system to
ensure that workers took at least 1 day off
in every 7 days.
108 facilities did not pay proper overtime
wages as required by laws and regulations.
69 facilities were not recycling or disposing of
hazardous waste as required by law, while 74
facilities lacked management procedures for
recycling or disposing of hazardous waste.
112 facilities were not properly storing, moving,
or handling hazardous chemicals. For example,
some facilities did not provide antileakage
for hazardous chemicals or provide separate
storage for incompatible chemicals. Also, 125
facilities lacked management procedures for
handling, movement, and storage of hazardous
chemicals.
68 facilities did not provide employees
adequate benefits as required by laws
and regulations, such as social insurance
and free physical examinations. 49 facilities
did not provide employees with paid leaves
or vacations.
119 facilities had deficiencies in their egress
safety procedures, such as narrow corridors
and poorly marked or inaccurate evacuation
routes.
99 facilities had noncompliance in some
aspect of their fire prevention, preparedness,
and response, such as unmarked fire extinguishers
and insufficient fire drills.
75 facilities lacked first-aid supply procedures
or did not adequately implement existing
procedures to ensure compliance.
So thanks Wootbot. Keep ranting against Chick-Fil-A and keep slinging your Apple products. You're ignorance is disgusting.
