Following its initial investigation of Apple device manufacturer Foxconn back in March, the Fair Labor Association (FLA) has released a follow-up report detailing the company’s progress in improving work conditions. Of the 360 actions required to be completed by July 1st, 2013, FLA representatives claim that Foxconn has completed 284, with most occurring on or ahead of schedule.
Stormen kring Foxconn må ha haft sitt ursprung i falska påståenden från radioprofilen Mike Daisey, men resultatet har varit positivt. Det är dock frustrerande att fortfarande se Foxconn kallas “Apple-fabriken”, trots att nästan alla större elektronikföretag i världen – inklusive Samsung, Dell, HP, Intel, Microsoft och Sony – använder dem.
