The larger mega corportations play the system so it is good to see one of these, Apple, havng to pay their fare share of tax.

I hope the unions in India are able to ensure better working conditions and rights for the workers compared to how the workers are treated in China

I am sad to see this show go. Apple supports liberal social issues but i suspect calls for progressive economic reform will hurt apple and the other tech mega corporations more generally thus there will be little room for M Stewart’s views on a tec…

It is a bit different operating in a democracy. Indian workers cannot be exploited like their Chinese counterparts. May be the workers who make the incredibly profitable iPhone can get more of a share of the profits for their labour through higher w…

I hope some kids gets access to these tools and tinkers with some broken phones and develops a love for engineering and tech. Hell I’d love to have a crack at it myself just for fun.

I live in The state of Australia that this occurred. South Australia is the state. The Flinders rangers is a beautiful area. Quite arid and it looks a bit like Joshua tree region in the US. The Police are armed and they are employed by the state gov…

Good on them. In Most western countries workers have paid 4 weeks vacation as a minimum, 2 weeks paid sick leave, paid maternity/paternity leave. Apple can afford to share more of their profits with the workers who help creat it. Apple like to …

Worker's rights have been eroded over the past decades. Apple have made huge profits from the labour of their workers. They should share more of the profits with their workers through better conditions and wages and pay much more tax to fund hea…

When in California on holidays (vacation as Americans would say) I was shocked by the number of homeless and frankly grossly mentally unwell people on the streets. Taxes are very low in the US. Maybe a rethink is needed. It broke my heart to see a y…

For most of the world there is a nationalist element in that US tech companies take money out of the countries, pay little local tax and assert their cultural norms over what is allowable. This is the first of many such laws.

It must be very difficult for Apple and other companies to investigate claims like this in a totalitarian country like China. May be it is time to pull out of China even if it costly in the short term.

It sounds like the workers quite rightly stood up to illegal management practices. It is sad they had to riot to be heard - I hope no one was injured. India is a democracy and may be this is the price for Apple of making its products in a democrac…

I wonder if this is related to the supply issues of computer chips which people are now calling “chipageddon”.
