Apple
Workers in the global sports wear and garment industry are living in poverty even though they have paid jobs. The workers produce for companies like Nike, Adidas, Puma, Asics, FILA and New Balance. These workers are mostly young women aged 17–24 who often endure low wages and long hours in dangerous and hostile conditions.
The low prices of iPhones and iPads — and the super-high profit margins of Apple — are only possible because iPhones and iPads are made with labour practices that would be illegal in many western countries. Most of the employees who make the iPhones and iPads not only don't have iPhones and iPads (because they can't afford them), but, in some cases, have never even seen them.
Companies & Sweatshops...
Many of these workers do not like describing their workplaces as sweatshops, because they think it makes them sound like victims. These workers know their wages and conditions are unacceptably low and many of them organise protests to demand better wages and conditions, even though doing so can put their jobs at risk.
