"Apple Changed The World"

worst sweatshops. Located in China at Foxxcon they world’s largest technology
sweatshop company serving Intel, Nintendo, Dell and Apple. The ages of most of
the sweatshop workers are 17 to 18, they make 2$ an hour. Here are some of the working
conditions at Foxxcon, the workers have to wear static proof jumpsuits also
know as “bunny suits” and have to go through multiple air showers in order to
avoid dust in Apple products.
They work in silent 12 hour shifts with 2 hour
breaks. After the long shift they go to their shared dorms of 7. Foxxcon had to
put nets on their building after 9 employees killed themselves by jumping off
the building all within 3 months. The toke a survey and addressed some concerns
like increased wages and provide counseling centers. Apple also provides an
interactive café, soccer field and English classes. “If the world see’s the labor assembly line
then they wont want to wait in the Apple store lines”
