Dimineata v-am prezentat cateva imagini dintr-un documentar ce a fost rulat aseara pe televiziunile americane si in cadrul caruia a fost prezentat situatia buna a angajatilor Foxconn care asambleaza iDevice-uri. Cei de la ABC News au fost in China si nu au gasit nereguli in inspectiile facute in cadrul fabricilor Apple insa realitatea este putin diferita. Conform unui reprezentant al unui ONG international, Foxconn a ascuns angajatii minori cand inspectiile facute de Fair Labor Association au avut loc. Apple permite companiei Foxconn sa angajeze minori cu varste intre 16 – 18 ani insa acest lucru trebuie facut legal si lor trebuie sa li se ofere protectie speciala in cadrul fabricilor. In timpul inspectiilor Foxconn ar fi ales sa nu ii aduca la munca pe minori, ascunzandu-i in caminele din campus.
All underage workers, between 16-17 years old, were not assigned any overtime work and some of them were even sent to other departments. All underage workers, between 16-17 years old, were not assigned any overtime work and some of them were even sent to other departments.
Reprezentantul ONG-ului sustine ca angajatii considera ca Apple nu este interesata sa siguranta lor si ca reprezentanti ai companiei sunt prezenti in cadrul fabricilor Foxconn insa ei nu corecteaza neregulile care au loc. Reprezentantul ONG-ului a incercat sa duca documente privind situatia angajatilor Foxconn chiar si la sediul Apple din Cupertino insa a fost oprita de oamenii de securitate care nu au lasat-o sa intre in companie. In concluzie, niciodata nu vom sti ce se intampla cu adevarat in fabricile Foxconn in China si Apple nu va incerca din rasputeri sa rezolve problemele de acolo.
Most of the time, the workers are aware of the presence of Apple’s representatives inside the factories. It is not the problem that Apple doesn’t know the real problems at their suppliers. They know, but it is only because they do not care. Chan said she had yet to receive a reply from Apple after more than two years of trying to contact the company. She even visited Apple’s Cupertino, Calif., headquarters in an attempt to deliver reports, documentaries and petition cards to the company, but, according to her, the receptionist refused to receive SACOM’s materials.
