These are people in a clean, safe, cutting edge factory, with JOBS, earning money while driving their family, local and global economies . The opportunity to work, working conditions, and pay are ever improving, driven by market forces. Should they be sitting at home demanding free everything for the government like socialist Europe?

Aye right. China's present regime is no more "communist" than the US is "communist".

Welcome to Britain 2025, should we leave the union, when all the controls put in place by the EU to safeguard workers rights will have been removed so that the rich fat cats can prosper even more by paying starvation wages to British workers.

You know what I love about this site (well a some of it) is when an article like this, but more so any EU related story, we descend on it like a plague of locusts to utterly destroy it with witty or abusive comments.....long may it remain so! because the way Europe is going, we'll be treated like these people, and free speech will be severely restricted.

I wonder if their managers are bogged down with petty grievances that are diligently documented by HR?

The suspicion being that you consider the "EU is not working".....because it wouldn't tolerate European workers being subjected to such conditions. And presumably you therefore support the notion of leaving the EU.....because in that way, they can be introduced in this country....and Engerland can be "Great" again. On the backs of others naturally enough. While you languish in a deck chair on Bexhill on Sea and dream of a "New Empire".

apple paid 12 million in tax to the UK 2015..IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN NEARER £400 MILLION... if you couple this with the slave labour in china you can see why the company is so rich..they pay peanuts to their workers and pay no tax to us...GOOD O'LE US OF A ..hey Obama..these are the principals all US company's work to..put share holders first and foremost..the shame is that in the long term it will greatly effect us all...cheaper goods mean we close down our factory's/steelworks..and become a nation of pound shops..

To give that couple of million a better chance of getting a decent job what we need to do is bring over 600,000 people here annually to flood the job market making it even harder for our unemployed. Vote Leave!

That looks depressing as hell, even the food seems depressing. Expect similar jobs from communist Corbyn, he will want us working like to support the scroungers and economic migrants.

I don't want to break the typical comments here, but what do you expect? Yes, its unfortunate, and its good to make an effort to improve things as much as feasible, but then we want our iPhone to be as cheap as possible, same way in which we want our clothes to be cheap. I'm sure by tea time tonight the majority of us will have come to terms with the fact there is a factory in China where people are allegedly over working in order that we can log in to social media from our discounted smart phone.

my iphone 6 was not what i would call cheap - 800€ is a nice chunk. it is apple who pockets the profits, not factories' managers in china.

That would be true, if the iPhone was actually as cheap as possible. It isn't, it's a premium product that costs 2-3 times the cost of an equivalent phone, and Apple have over $170 billion in the bank from selling them at premium prices. They could afford to treat workers better.

Of course Apple pockets the profits, they brought the product and the capital. That is why they have $xxx in the bank. I'm confident the workers in that factory are treated better than the workers in the factory down the road mass producing rubber tyres. I know we don't like to imagine ourselves working in those conditions for that amount of money, but it is all relative. I empathise too, i just think this is reality of a globalised and capitalised world. That nature is what keeps the world evolving and improving. It isn't all roses and rainbows, but I think despite a few half-hearted comments on the DM comments section, the vast majority of us are absolutely fine with that. I would go further in suggesting nobody commenting is doing anything to make any notable change to worker economics in China, or Bangladesh, et al.

There's not a lot of workplace banter going on there. If you look at how the front row is lined up precisely on the green line I think that is very telling.
