You may have head reports a couple weeks ago about Foxcon, a major Apple supplier, and their reputation for horrible working conditions ($1/hr pay, explosions that have injured dozens of people, and even installing suicide nets last year). Since this news got out, online petitions have sprouted up all over change.org and sumofus.org garnering about 250,000 signatures. On Feb. 10, half a dozen Apple retail stores will be visited by protestors demanding improved working conditions. Protestors gathered in Washington D.C , New York City, San Francisco, Sydney and Bangalore to demonstrate their dissatisfaction with the Apple Corporation . Change.org’s human rights supervisor, Sara Ryan told CNN:

“This is a really huge step for us, in combining all the voices we’ve collected from people all over the world asking Apple to clean up their supply chain.”
