US-owned iPhone factory accused of labor abuses in China

[yousaf465]

according to the new york-based nonprofit, employees at jabil's factory in wuxi, china are regularly forced to work excessively long hours without overtime pay, including more than 11 hours of standing work every day. They also face discriminatory hiring practices and are given inadequate training, clw claims.


the accusations are similar to those levied against Apple's suppliers in the past, though unlike Foxconn and Pegatron, Jabil is a US-owned company. "It seems that wherever Apple products are made, labor rights are infringed upon," reads the opening line of CLW's report, "even if the supplier factory is owned by a US-based company."


CLW goes on to argue that the US government shares responsibility for the abuses committed at Jabil's facility, and that it should do more to regulate its practices, as stipulated under international agreements
