Pegatron, which puts together products in mainland China for Apple, was forcing employees to work in poor conditions, depriving them of overtime pay and polluting the environment, China Labor Watch claimed in a report released on Monday. ?[Pegatron] benefitted from and relied upon labor violations to increase their competitive edge,? the rights group said. The group said its findings were based on a five-month undercover investigation at three Pegatron factories in China where more than 70,000 workers assemble Apple products.

This happening after they got some good press after deciding to try and have products manufactured in the states is interesting

I wonder if they decided that having some of their products made in the states was a good idea out of fear that they might get bad press from news of worker abuse by a supplier being reported again.

Would anyone here be willing to pay $10-$50 dollars more on electronics to reduce the instances of alleged worker abuse?
