Apple takes human rights very seriously, and do not tolerate
underage labor. Apple is so serious about underage labor that if a supplier is caught with underage labor then their relationship is either put on probation or terminated. They even conduct face-to-face interviews with workers when visiting their factories and if suppliers are found violating underage worker rules must return underage workers to school, finance their education at a school chosen by their families, and continue providing income to the workers matching what they received while employed. Apple also monitors their suppliers work hours, they only allow a maximum of 60 hours a week allowing a day of rest every 7 days. This is good that apple monitors their suppliers work hours so they dont try and get the job done too fast and over work their workers and become unethical. Apple also tries to control internships so they dont just become free labor but so the student is able to learn about the business and what goes on in apple and get a great overall experience of how it runs. Based on the facts Apple is trying very hard to improve human rights and to eradicate unethical hiring and exploitation of workers. "Apple - Supplier Responsibility - Labor & Human Rights."
