TV programme accuses Apple supplier of treating workers badly
London
WORKERS in Chinese factories making Apple products are poorly treated, with exhausted employees falling asleep on their 12-hour shifts, British broadcaster BBC found in an investigation broadcast on Thursday.
Reporters who took jobs undercover at the Pegatron factories found that workers regularly exceeded 60 hours a week - more than the company's guidance - and that standards on identity cards, dormitories, work meetings and juvenile workers were also breached.
