Vhat are the working conditions like in the electronics I wanted to find a basic overview of the process of making electronics before I began thinking about working conditions, ‘The first Website I went to was called Investopedia. I decided that it was a credible site, and I ‘skimmed it to find some information. From there, I found out that a company called Foxconn in China made many of our electronic products and, in fact, they make the iPhones. So I now had a more specific question: What is it like to work in a Foxconn factory? Talso decided that “electronic” was very broad, so I narrowed it down to making iPhones: because I was very interested in that and I thought it would be a good case study—a detailed A «| example that has been studied a lot and can help me infer about the larger subject of electronics. ‘Then I began to search some more, On the first Website, the author talked about a report on a re ‘TV show on ABC called Nightline.

Use the rubric above to grade cher. j Late one evening in 2011, workers at a Chinese factory were diligently polishing the backs of IPhone eases. It was a typical day for them. Most were probably on the tail end of a 90-hour work week. The average pay for the tireless work they were doing: $1.78 per hour, As they work to make a product they will never be able to afford, an explosion tears through the building. The blast killed three people and injured dozens more. This factory explosion can be added toa growing list of workplace tragedies occurring across China in the name of profit. The cost to fund the bea lifestyles of many corporate CEOs is not counted in dollars but in the loss of human life and lignity. ‘The lack of regulation of Chinese factories has always been a major concern for human rights agencies across the world. The main problems at these factories are incredibly long work hours, low pay, and a dangerous work environment. And Apple is not the only technology company to blame, Dozens others use these horrific factories to make their product. These working conditions are terrible and something must be done to change them. In 2005 Apple executives met to create a “Code of Conduct” to apply to the factories that manufacture their product. This code set standards for the factories. It demands that, “working conditions in Apple's supply chain are safe, that workers are treated with respect and dignity, and that manufacturing Processes are environmentally responsible.” Based on creating this Code of Conduct, it would seem that Apple was making a step in the direction toward ending these horrific working conditions. This, however, was not the case. Over the course of the next few years Apple would conduct thousands of inspections of its overseas factories. Each year, over half of the factories failed to meet at least one standard set forth in their Code of Conduct. Instead of putting pressure on the owners of these factories, Apple simply swept the problems under the rug and kept on going with business as usual. Given their huge influence it would not be hard Ge oe Appie iores aciery omer one ceeeriel te working conditions. Instead, the tech giant cares more about making money than the dignity of its workers, To this day, nothing has been done about the working environment in these factories. Apple has proven, through years of inaction, that it will not do the right thing regarding these factories. This is where we must step in. We can write letters to Apple to express that we will not stand for these injustices. We can protest in front of Apple's offices. We can bring light to the terrible things happening in these factories. With enough people on our side we can, and will, ensure that these factory workers are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve. = Ne tHe Frac.'s @ yher We *, mB edr a1ts wold, ‘ 4 yi last year, two explosions | Times, there have been || were two explosions \ IVa at iPad factories, | | twoseparatedeadly || that killedfour people. | ( - including in Chengdu, | explosions at iPad _| Apple had beenalerted | '' uC A killed four people and _| factories.

(Source 2) By Steven Greenhouse From The New York Times, July 18, 2010 ‘Sitting in her tiny living room here, Santa Castillo beams about the new house that she and her husband are building directly behind the wooden shack where they now live. The new home will be four times bigger, with two bedrooms and an indoor bathroom; the couple and their three children now share a windowless bedroom and rely on an outhouse two doors away. Tike vary ‘Ms. Castillo had long dreamed of a bigger, sturdier house, but three months ago something happened that finally made it possible: she landed. ajob at one of the world’s most unusual garment factories. Industry experts say it is a pioneer in the developing world because it pays a “living ‘wage"—in this case, three times the average pay of the country’s apparel workers—and allows workers to join a union without a fight. cae eo OS “We never had the opportunity to make wages like this before,” says Ms, Castillo, a soft-spoken woman who earns $500 a month. “I feel blessed.”factory isa high-minded experiment, a response to appeals from yriad university officals and student activists that the garment industry stops using poverty-wage sweatshops. It has 120 employees and is owned by Knights Apparel, a privately held company based in Spartanburg, $.C., that is the leading supplier of college-logo apparel to American universities, according to the Collegiate Licensing Company. | For Knights, the factory is a risky proposition, even though it already has orders to make T-shirts and sweatshirts for bookstores at 400 American universities. The question is whether students, alumni and sports fans will be willing to pay $18 for the factory's T-shirts—the same as premium. | brands like Nike and Adidas—to sustain the plant and its generous wages. Joseph Borich, the C-#.O. of Knights, is optimistic. “We're hoping to prove that doing good can be good business, that they're not mutually exclusive," he says. Not everyone is so confident. “It's a noble effort, but it is an experiment,” says Andrew Jassin, an industry consultant who says “fair labor” garments face a limited market unless deft promotion can snare consumers’ attention—and conscience. “There are consumers who really care and will buy this apparel at a premium price,” he says, “and then there are those who say they care, but then just want value.” ‘Mr. Bozich says the plant's T-shirts and sweats should command a premium because the company uses high-quality fabric, design and printing. | “This sometimes seems too good to be true,” says Jim Wilkerson, Duke University’s director of licensing and a leader of American universities’ {fair-labor movement. He said a few other apparel companies have tried to improve working conditions, like School House, which was founded by a ‘25-year-old Duke graduate and uses a factory in Sri Lanka. Worker advocates applaud these efforts, but many say Alta Gracia has gone further than others by embracing higher wages and unionization. A living wage is generally defined as the amount of money needed to adequately feed and shelter a family. __—— ~Free Write: Drafting your speech FE Tictotys ly if 4 Chelthy 2 Tle fara are Levitt ¥ ‘Speech Checklist Topic: Have you selected an appropriate topic? @ Are you interested in your topic?

Ifyou're wearing anything from Nike, Adidas, Puma, or Fila, then it’s highly likely your clothes were made in places that most people would deseribe as sweatshops. | What is a sweatshop? ‘A sweatshop is a manufacturing facility where workers ‘endure poor working conditions, long hours, low wages, and other violations of labor rights, Unfortunately, sweatshops are - particularly common in developing countries where labor aws are « “often not enforced. Workers may also be exposed to toxic substances or use dangerous machinery without adequate protection. —— ‘Are sportswear and garment factories really sweatshops? Ifconfronted, many of the major supply factories would probably deny that they're sweatshops, as all are supposed toadhere to the codes of conduct of their clients. The problem is that in developing countries this is difficult to monitor, so the codes are, generally not enforced. And the sad fact is that many workers in the slobal sportswear industry are living in poverty even though they have paid jobs, a a ‘The Workers producing for companies like Nike; Adidas, | Puma, Asics, FILA, Mizuno, New Balance, and‘Umbro, who are mostly young women (aged 17-24), often endure low wages and J Jong hours in dangerous and hostile conditions, Many of these workers do not like describing their workplaces as “sweatshops,” because they think it makes them sound like Victims. But these workers know their wages and conditions are unacceptably low, and many of them organize protests to demand better wages and conditions, even though doing so can put their Jobs at risk, As an informed consumer you have many options to influence working conditions around the world.
