Recently there has been a fatal accident in a Apple factory with two DEAD immediately and a DOZEN more injured. All of this happened in Chengdu, southwest China. Then, while Apple is becoming one the biggest businesses across the world, there are workers in these factories who stand so long they can't even attempt to walk because their legs are so swollen and in pain. These people suffer in harsh working conditions, exposure to deadly chemicals to clean Apple screens, and to top it off companies like Dell, I.B.M, and Sony are putting their employees through the same torture.
What I don't understand is why anyone is not trying to do anything to stop this madness. These people are going through so much trouble to build these machines and their employers care less about how these conditions are affecting someone's life. I mean come on, was Steve Jobs in on this too? Or, did care less because of how much money he made in his pocket. But, what I really do not understand the most is why people go through so much trouble for money. This same situation reminds me of children working in factories during the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain during the 1800's! This is ridiclious!
If I were Apple I would reconsider my employees working conditions or get ready for a long drought in sales. But I really believe that Apple should do better with their working conditions. I hope we can go through another sucessful year without any more of these problems.
