Public attention makes Apple to improve working conditions of Chinese workers

For many consumers it is not interested in the life of those who directly produce their favorite gadgets. The same applies to the Apple production capacity. We know that now everything is manufactured and assembled in China, but what are the working conditions of Chinese workers?

It has been nearly a year since the incident at one of the Foxconn factories where non-compliance with safety regulations has led to an explosion. Of course, these events cause a resonance in the society, which is actively taken up by the media, which ultimately leads a reasonable question to the leadership of the company: "How is it that you have such income, and working conditions below nowhere to go? "

This state of affairs does not need corporations and reported The New York Times over the past year the situation has improved. The number of working hours declined, and wages rose. Moreover, much attention has been paid to comfortable working conditions, starting with more comfortable chairs and ending with a high transparency for the analysis of the working conditions of competent organizations.

As is known, began in one place movement can change the entire industry. This happened in the case of Foxconn and Apple. Other major companies such as HP and the Intel, obviously not wanting to get on the front page of newspapers and magazines with the title in style "Exploiters do not think of their work," so actively reviewing the current situation in manufacturing plants, making life working better.

As for privacy - a painful issue for Apple. Example: Nike holds public meetings in which are discussed and adopted initiatives leading to the improvement of working conditions. Gap generally invites other companies to those able to find any flaws in their production scheme, with these reports are published openly. In the wake of Apple's policy of openness such catches a lot of criticism.

However, not everything is so simple, and even positive change on all sides not always happily accepted by the employees. Here we must consider the difference in mentality: some Foxconn workers were upset reduction of working hours. Not always possible to easily solve the financial issue: who should take on additional costs to improve working conditions.

Be that as it may, the lives of those directly involved in the production of our favorite i-gadgets, it becomes a little better, and it can not but rejoice.
