CEO Tim Cook follows up supplier responsibility report with email to Apple employees
MacGenerations claims to have gotten their hands on an email to Apple employees, purportedly from CEO Tim Cook, which follows up the supplier responsibility report issued earlier today. It reads, in part:
Finding and correcting problems is not enough. Our team has built an ambitious training program to educate workers about Apple's code of conduct, workers' rights, and occupational health and safety. More than one million people know about these rights because they went to work for an Apple supplier. Additionally, Apple offers continuing education programs free of charge at many manufacturing sites in China. More than 60,000 workers have enrolled in classes to learn business, entrepreneurial skills or English.

Its interesting that this comes out just after the recently aired This American Life episode "Mr Daisey And The Apple Factory". This is, by the way, a fantastic podcast; very thought provocative and entertaining. The recent episode about Apple, Foxconn, and Shenzhen, China is, at the very least, something to seriously think about. It definitely put a bit of a damper on my Apple enthusiasm.
