Fair Labor Association says Foxconn's Apple iPad plant is 'first class'

Quote:

With full, independent audits of Apple assembly partner Foxconn's assembly facilities now under way, the initial assessment from the Fair Labor Association is that conditions at the Chinese manufacturing plants are much better than garment factories in China.

'...better than garment factories...' I don't know if that's saying much. All this reminders me of the early American labor movement. It was working from sunup to sundown.

Still, I keep buying Apple products. Doesn't say much about me does it? Or everybody else.

Globalization is good for us and I for one would like to welcome our new corporate masters. Technology is the opium of the masses. Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
