As Apple bows to pressure to let independent auditors into its supplier factories, Arun Gupta exposes further exploitation by the most admired corporation in the US and the world. Criticizing the recent NYT exposé, Gupta writes that, “the Times highlighted environmental hazards and overtime,” explaining in detail how the investigation, “gloss[ed] over wages, working conditions and abusive supervision.
