Headline: Apple's Broken Promises ~ Panorama.

 

 

To be aired Thursday 18/12/14 at 21:00 on BBC1.

 

 

Excerpt from the Link "Apple is the most valuable brand on the planet, making products that everyone wants - but how are its workers treated when the world isn't looking? Panorama goes undercover in China to show what life is like for the workers making the iPhone 6. And it's not just the factories. Reporter Richard Bilton travels to Indonesia to find children working in some of the most dangerous mines in the world. But is the tin they dig out by hand finding its way into Apple's products?"

My thoughts ->

 

After watching tonight's Panorama episode it's evident that Apple need to further digest the findings about their suppliers and workforce, and act upon them.
