Apple has been getting a lot of heat lately for worker conditions at their suppliers' factories. Even though they mandate certain working conditions at the factories, as well as release reports on violations that take place in the factories, they are still receiving public flak for several events in the factories that have been gross denials of human rights and may or may not be reported.
