FLA Report Reveals Issues At Foxconn Plants, Details Solutions

apple_logoThe Fair Labor Association has concluded its month-long investigation of Chinese manufacturer Foxconn's factory conditions, and as they indicated early on, they have encountered "significant issues," though it's far from the sub-Dickensian hellhole many perhaps expected. They have focused on a few of the most significant problems and made some suggestions as to how to remedy them.Ultimately these solutions will need to be monitored by Chinese authorities — the same authorities under which the previous, nominally illegal excesses of Foxconn's were swept under the rug. But with the eye of the world upon them, it may be that even the most lax of regulators will have to make an effort to keep their industry in line with the laws that ostensibly bind them.
