Separate agencies that investigate working conditions from the corporations that pay them, this means Apple.

Created by A.M. on February 16, 2012

Lately in the news we have been hearing about Apple one of America's most beloved technology providers has near slave-like labor conditions in their factories in other countries. Factory workers have repetitive stress fractures and other hand injuries from doing the same job daily, and some work 30 hour shifts and die of exhaustion.
The Fair Labor Association is supposed to regulate these types of terrible conditions, it is also partly funded by Apple and most likely other corporations the FLA should be regulating.
I propose that we have the Obama Administration separate the funding and back scratching between the FLA and the companies they investigate and that we tell Apple this is unacceptable treatment of its factory workers.
