Apple investigates iPhone facility in India after workers protest against poor working conditions
India Today
The workers of the Foxconn plant in Chennai's Sriperumbudur protested against the poor working conditions including crowded dormitories, toilets without water and stale food infested with worms.
The Foxconn facility in India, which produces iPhones, has been under the scanner after reports of poor working conditions surfaced on the internet. The workers of the Foxconn plant in Chennai's Sriperumbudur protested against the poor working conditions including crowded dormitories, toilets without water and stale food infested with worms. Now, Apple is sending a team of auditors to investigate the iPhone facility in Sriperumbudar.
Apple has said that it has put the plant on “probation” and has sent independent auditors to investigate the poor working conditions. “Following recent concerns about food safety and accommodation conditions at Foxconn Sriperumbudur, we dispatched independent auditors. We found that some remote dormitory accommodations and dining rooms being used for employees do not meet our requirements, and we are working with the supplier to ensure a comprehensive set of corrective actions are rapidly implemented,” an Apple spokesperson told BBC in a statement.
