Apple partner employees

  During the last night the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), has published the results of its annual audit, carried out this time for the entire year 2014 in the partner factories that produce iDevices and components for them. According to him Jeff Williams, the senior vice president of Apple's Operations division, most of the violations of the company's regulations in 2014 occurred for the first time. Separately, Williams imposed a new rule for Apple's partners, prohibiting them from charging any more fees to people who want to work on their production lines.

  Asian companies sometimes charge a fee almost equal to an employee's monthly salary to allow them to work on an iDevice production line, and this is now banned. Companies are bound by the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), to pay these taxes themselves and to hire the workers without forcing them to pay a penny for this "privilege". Apart from these, the Apple company says that in general, the employees of its partners were treated fairly by the companies that offered them a job in 2014.

  Audit results Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), I abstract from the documentary published by the BBC at the end of last year, he presented the difficult working conditions in Apple's partner factories. The American company avoided discussing this topic publicly, including in its audit, so it avoids talking to the whole world about the real problems of its partners.
