Apple Admits to Child Labor in Supplier Factories

Those of you familiar with offshore sourcing and manufacturing will know that maintaining compliance with child labor laws can be challenging. Apple is dealing with this first-hand as the Telegraph reports Apple supplier factories in China are under fire for child labor and other infractions.

Apple said the child workers are now no longer being used, or are no longer underage. "In each of the three facilities, we required a review of all employment records for the year as well as a complete analysis of the hiring process to clarify how underage people had been able to gain employment," Apple said, in an annual report on its suppliers.
