Is Apple Doing Enough to Safeguard Worker Health and Safety?

In anticipation of the unveiling of the new Ipad this week, we will be taking at the worker health and safety conditions in the factories that produce Apple products.

The central document for Thursday's class will be Apple's recent audit of factories that manufacture Apple products. Take a look at the audit report (worker health section page 12-15). Does Apple effectively enforces its code of conduct? Is its code of conduct stringent enough? What barriers may be preventing better health and safety conduct.

For another look inside factory conditions, take a look at recent stories from the New York Times and This American Life.
