Most partners Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), that develop iDevices are Asian companies that employ enormous numbers of people in their factories without complying with labor protection legislation. Over time, many partners Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), were criticized by the international press for the way they treat their employees, and a recent drama happened in one of the factories where they assemble iPhone 5C brings to our attention again the problems in Asia. Pegatron, one of the partners Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), which produces a large number of terminals iPhone 5C, is in the center of attention this time, several employees who worked on an iPhone production line dying in recent months.
A workers' rights group is demanding that Apple investigate the recent deaths of several workers at an iPhone factory in China, one of whom was a 15-year-old who died of pneumonia after working at the facility for a month. The factory, located in Shanghai, is run by Taiwanese manufacturing firm Pegatron, a listed Apple supplier. In recent months, several workers at the facility have died of different illnesses. 15-year-old Shi Zhaokun was among the workers who died, according to New York-based China Labor Watch.
Among the people who died in the Pegatron factory in Shanghai include and a 15-year-old young man, he died just a month after he started working on a terminal assembly line iPhone 5C. Although Chinese law prohibits the employment of minors who have not reached the age of 16, the company's representatives defend themselves by saying that the young man presented a false identity document attesting to the fact that he has reached the age of 16. Although no one will ever know the truth, the large number of deaths that occur in Apple's partner factories shows that most employees are not working in decent working conditions and no one is doing anything to solve the problem.
Apple constantly inspects its partners and in many cases presents the irregularities found in their factories, but much tougher measures must be taken.
