Because change starts from Apple, the organization Change.org It is also planning to hold a demonstration in front of the Apple store in New York Central Station in an attempt to bring to people's attention the fact that Chinese employees who produce iDevices are not treated fairly by Foxconn. For several weeks, there have been petitions on the Internet asking Apple's management to solve the problems in China, and Change.org managed to collect over 250.000 signatures of people concerned about their peers assembling iDevices in Foxconn factories.
New York, NY – Concerned Apple customers will deliver more than a quarter million signatures from campaigns on Change.org and SumOfUs.org to Apple's Grand Central Station, NYC location demanding the company respond to recent criticisms of worker abuse in their supplier factories and commit to creating an ethical iPhone 5.
When: Thursday, February 9, 10:00am ET
Where: Apple Store, Grand Central Station, 89 East 42nd Street New York, NY 10017
The demonstration in front of the store will probably end with the help of the New York City police and after that everyone will go about their business quietly without any change occurring. On another note, Nokia announced today that it will choose partners from Asia for the production of future mobile phones, eliminating 4.000 jobs in Europe and Mexico.
Da … Eu propun sa tinem o ora moment de reculegere pentru angajatii chinezi si conditiile groaznice de munca … dar acei chinezi oprimati fac cozi la angajare si multi dintre ei castiga mai bine decat salariul minim in Romania. Da… Sunt de partea lor si pentru asta promit sa nu mai intru pe siteul apple 2 ore in semn de protest !!! ca deh nu a fost Apple la directorul fabricii din CHINA sa le spuna cum trebuie sa lucreze angajatii LOR.
Astept cu nerabdare proteste si pentru culegatorii de banane din Congo sau inuitii din Alaska sau Siberia.
