The document discusses suicide nets at Apple factories and poor working conditions for young employees producing consumer goods. The author was surprised to learn about suicide nets and believes working conditions are precarious, with long hours, low pay, and few breaks. They think these issues are not discussed publicly enough and many consumer products are made in similar conditions.
Irene Merayo Urbano's opinion on the video about apple's factory in china
- 1. I have been very impressed about the video. I was specially surprised when I saw the ¡°suicide nets¡±. I don¡¯t want to imagine what can have happened so that it¡¯s needed to have them. Also, think this is a topic that is not spoken about enough. It¡¯s like the ¡°dark side¡±of many big companies. I found out about this not a very long time ago, and I¡¯m sure many of the clothes we buy nowadays are produced in a very similar way as these Apple products: by very young people that have no other choice than working in a very precarious situation, for too many hours without a break and not gaining enough money to buy basic necessities for them or their families. I hope this changes sometimes, but as we never see these things on TV or newspapers, I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t for now, because it¡¯s a problem that I think everyone tries to ¡°hide¡±, or not give it the importance it has.
