The article I read was about how workers who associate with iPhones, iPads, and other Apple products are in dangerous surroundings at work. They gave one example by telling a story about an explosion in Building A5 in the area that iPhone cases were polished at. The company reports that some of its' suppliers had been thrown out the wrong way and they contain dangerous chemicals. A couple incidents dealing with injuries from chemicals to clean the iPhone screen or other explosions have happened at the Chengdu plant. However, the Apple Company is not the only ones dealing with these troubles. Places like Dell, I.B.M, Motorola, Nokia, and many more been having similar situations as well. Apple is trying to help the situation by creating a code of conduct. Nevertheless, some believe Apple really does not care for anything else but there own products. Apple had employees working long sifts for little pay. They also slept in little dorms with barley any room, which was also a desk most employees had to stand all day while on the job. Reports were sent to Apple of unsafe working conditions at the Chengdu plant. There were also complaints about the dangerous aluminum particles. Apple did respond to ANY. With explosions, continuing to go Apple is still popular and will always be the customers care more for Apple products than for Apple working conditions in China.
Well I agree that the conditions of Apples workers still will not change customers mind about buying Apple products or increase Apples popular. But then again I believe it is wrong that people are losing there lives just from working in a simple factory. I think they sound use eco-friendly chemical to use for there products. It would stop the dangerous setting and help the earth as well. But I will not stop buying Apple products because of this even though I do agree on the fact that it is wrong.
