A group is asking Change.org to withdraw the petition which asked Apple to protect workers' rights in China. The petition, which had previously gathered over 255,000 signatures before being delivered in-person to Apple stores in major U.S. cities, including New York, recently made headlines following a New York Times series on the harsh conditions of factory workers in China. The series examined the working lives of those tasked with building our favorite gadgets, like iPhones and iPads.But one of the critical stories that helped lead the crusade, and therefore the petition, was that of American playwright Mike Daisey, whose one-man show attempted to get his audience to think about the origin of their beloved iGadgets. Unfortunately, his story turned out to be partially false. Now the group behind the original petition is reversing its course, too, saying "Apple is already doing more for worker rights in China than just about any other IT company that deals with Chinese suppliers."Oops.
