I did not write the piece ,lets post the full sentence, the full sentence was -->

Last year, the company scrambled to improve conditions at its plants after a stringer of worker suicides.


That was posted not intended to detract from AAPL but to point out general conditions that must be quite hard paced , enough to be a cause for much improved conditions for these peeps so we all can go on to enjoy the benefits at the local Mall, WMT or BBY . Or post at comparative leisure here with free time in cyber space.

You wish to discuss the relative comparative working conditions in coal mines to this , be my guest ...have no intentions of enaging you in such an " everything is relative " debate . That debate would be immediately changed btw, if it was you working in the coal mine or the factory nonstop everyday , for all it is relative ...

*Very good piece i just posted today that touches on this quite well , from an early forgotten philosopher that was burned at the stake by "the church" ...very good read on Giordano Bruno 1546 :

Discussion is verging on political, but I will add:

Corporations went global - Unions stayed "local"

I was telling people 40 years ago that would be a problem.

And then of course, US workers and companies have the tax overhead of the "untouchable" part of the federal budget that Eisenhower warned us about in 1960. Unfortunately no one listened to that leftist firebrand.

It's no surprise work is going to the cheapest bidder. That's just business.
