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

India’s government seems to be intent on becoming more like China so Apple could end up right back where it started down the road.

Sadly I think you may be correct 

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 wages and better conditions. 

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 be left wing on social issues but on economic issues not so much. 

Given inflation if your wages are not going up by 7%+ per year you are effectively taking a pay cut.
