Death of a 15-year-old boy in a manufacturing plant iPhone 5c was apparently the last straw before Pegatron exposed the security processes at its factory. It was this misfortune that sparked a wave of criticism against Pegatron and Apple, especially when Apple he declared on his website that he was trying to do everything in order to defend the rights of the workers there. Pegatron, which is in charge of production iPhone 5c and iPad mini The 1st generation, according to the Wall Street Journal, uses technology to recognize the faces of employeesancov.
The law there states that the company can employ persons of age minibarely 16 years, which was not the case of Shi Zhaokun. As it turned out, he not only did not meet minilow age limit, but at the same time he appeared in the factory under a false identity as a 20-year-old man. Pegatron etc Apple they stated that his death was due to pneumonia, which, however, had nothing to do with the working conditions in the factory. Pegatron also confirmed that the boy managed to bypass the registration process, which includes a check of the data on the identity card, as well as a criminal record check in the local police database. Shi died after working 280 hours in three weeks at the factory, working 79 hours in the first week, 77 hours in the second week and 75 hours in the third week. These times contradict the statement Applu, according to which workers should not work more than 60 hours a week. Agency F used this exact number for its measurementsair Labor Association, which conducted a survey in three Foxconn factories from March/March to October/October this year. The FLA subsequently confirmed that, with the exception of one case Apple complies with the specified time, but still exceeds the legal limit.
