Recently Apple has been in the middle of a controversy regarding the working conditions in its Chinese factories. Apparently the manufacturer that Apple uses has been using child labor. Apple is clearly trying to eliminate Child labor on its products, but now that the public has knowledge of child labor in china how do we know how much of our imported products have been manufactured using child labor. Apples charge on preventing child labor is admirable but only makes it seem like they are trying to save there own skin. Wouldn't Apple know if these factories were using child labor? In my opinion Apple should have had more knowladge of the issue and the consumer shouldn't rule out the possibility that Apple had knowladge of child labor in its factories.
