| Apple realises that Foxconn’s treatment of women is bad PR Puts company on probation Fruity cargo cult Apple has realised that Foxconn’s poor treatment of women workers in its Indian plant is doing the same sort of PR damage it saw when there were similar problems in China. Weeks after the women workers were taken to hospital for food poisoning and the conditions at the Foxconn plant came to official and international attention, Apple has boldly stepped in an put the plant on “probation.” The Tame Apple Press even admitted that the “action” followed protests from workers over subpar food and accommodation conditions and that both the firms acknowledged and pledged to address the issue. Had they not protested, by blocking highways, there was a good bet that the treatment would have continued and iPhone production would not have been disrupted. Apple didn’t say how long the probation will last, but an Apple spokesperson in India told TechCrunch that the firm “will ensure our strict standards are met before the facility reopens.” https://fudzilla.com/news/54118-appl...omen-is-bad-pr |
