APPLE INC:
Apple Inc.
is an American multinational technology company headquartered in Cupertino,
California, that designs, develops and sells consumer electronics, computer
software and online services . The CEO of this company is Tim Cook and the man
behind this company or we can say that founder is Steve Jobs. Apple is well
known for its size and revenues. Its worldwide annual values are 25,849 Cores
USD. Apple remains one the market leaders in the Smartphone Industry.
Besides the company introduction there are so many harsh truth
related to such a wide and famous company . Sometimes while doing ethically in one
way we ignore the unethical practice in other. And this is directly related to
the company’s reputation or goodwill as we know Apple has become the first
American Company to reach US$1 trillion in market capitalization US
$1,000,000,000,000 in stock value. But behind this brightness of success, however lies a series of unresolved ethical puzzle.
In this ethical dilemma involves the millions of people employed
in its supply chain, which is located in China with major contractor foxconn.
The main reason why
apple iPhones are manufactured in China is due availability of abundant supply
of labor force, this allow them to finish a large capacity of workload quickly. While working workers faced many kind of problems. As in 2011 in China, due to
aluminium dust, killed for workers and almost 140 injured after using toxin in
factory report New York Times.
As a Apple user, I was shocked to know that such a unethical behavior of apple Inc. that they use slave labor. There are cases where the conditions of apple workers are worse. Apple says that they are very dedicated toward
ethical sourcing of minerals, but it was found that tin for
illegal mines could be entering its supply chain and most shocking thing is
that some children digging tin ore out by hard in extremely dangerous
conditions.

Recently was there was a case when first iPhone was released, Steve Jobs made a call to switch the plastic screen to glass. The brief instructions were given to the workers at 3:00 am and after that workers start mass production of the iPhone. Even if someone wanted to end their life, Apple installed anti-suicide nets on the outside of all the dorm windows so that if such thing happens then they get caught and brought back to work.
Apple needs to
understand that the employees working on their unit are humans, not machines.
They have feelings, they get tired too. Apple went out their way and did a lot
unethical things just to make a bigger profit.
