Apple Working Condition Protests

This video reports on mass protests against Apple for the poor working conditions at their supplier, FoxConn. Many online petitions have gained popularity, with millions of supporters, but this protest is notable because it’s a global, physical protest. Protesters took to Washington DC, New York City, San Francisco, Sydney, and  Bangalore. However, it is important to note that there are many other companies using FoxConn as suppliers for their products. These companies are not being protested, largely because Apple has a larger public image with a bi-sected love-hate following. It could be argued, however, that because Apple has such a globally known image, the company’s actions could influence other, smaller companies to follow suit.
