...Workers at Foxconn…are subjected to long, punishing shifts for low pay…according to a report…by Students and Scholars Against Corporate Misbehavior (SACOM). A statement from Foxconn obtained by CNN said: "…we are working hard to give our more than one million employees in China a safe and positive working environment…Foxconn Technology Group welcomed the audit of three of our campus operations by the Fair Labor Association (FLA)”…[Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a statement] "We believe that workers everywhere have the right to a safe and fair work environment, which is why we've asked the FLA to independently assess the performance of our largest suppliers," The FLA reported back in March saying that Foxconn violated standards in working hours and compensation…FLA said Foxconn accepted the report and would implement the necessary changes.
