Protest Against Apple Nothing More Than a Publicity Stunt ⇥

Jim Dalrymple:

[T]he group on Monday took credit for news that Apple would have the Fair Labor Association (FLA) conduct special audits of Apple’s final assembly suppliers, including Foxconn factories in Shenzhen and Chengdu, China.

The problem is that Apple CEO Tim Cook said in an email to employees four weeks ago that the company would have the FLA conduct these audits.

Four weeks ago. Nothing more than a feel-good moment for a few people, instead of targeting the companies that have even worse working conditions than Apple’s suppliers do.
