In aceasta seara compania Apple a publicat lista celor 156 de companii care furnizeaza 97% din serviciile necesare pentru fabricarea produselor companiei. Anual Apple face sondaje in fabricile partenerilor sai verificand 8 segmente cheie ale functionalitatii acestora : politica anti-discriminatorie, prevenirea muncii involuntare, asigurarea unui tratament egal angajatilor, politica privind protectia angajatilor minori, politica privind prevenirea angajarii minorilor fara drept de munca, politica privind respectarea orelor de munca, politica privind salariile si beneficiile salariale si politica privind libertatea de asociere.
In 2011, we conducted 229 audits throughout our supply chain — an 80 percent increase over 2010 — including more than 100 first-time audits. We continue to expand our program to reach deeper into our supply base, and this year we added more detailed and specialized audits that focus on safety and the environment.
In 2011 Apple a facut audiat cele mai multe fabrici ale partenerilor sai si a descoperit ca in cateva zeci dintre ele existau nereguli in tratamentul oferit angajatilor. Multe dintre fabricile Apple isi tin angajatii peste program si nu le respecta drepturile oferite prin contractul individual de munca insa nu le respecta nici drepturile salariale. Avand in vedere ca Apple are multi parteneri cu fabrici in China era “normal” sa descopere foarte multe nereguli intr-o tara in care angajatii de la Foxconn protesteaza in aproape fiecare saptamana.
93 facilities had records that indicated more than 50 percent of their workers exceeded weekly working hour limits of 60 in at least 1 week out of the 12 sample period. At 90 facilities, more than half of the records we reviewed indicated that workers had worked more than 6 consecutive days at least once per month, and 37 facilities lacked an adequate working day control system to ensure that workers took at least 1 day off in every 7 days.
Ca ori si ce alta companie de pe glob, Apple este interesata sa faca bani prin orice metode si proiecte de acest gen au rolul de a da opiniei publice impresia ca angajatii sunt important insa realitatea este alta. Nu prea multe se vor schimba chiar daca Apple si-ar dori cu adevarat acest lucru insa este util sa aflam unde anume sunt problemele. Mai jos aveti lista celor 156 de companii partenere ale Apple.
