Apple's problem

In the article "In chine, human costs are built into an iPad" they talk about problems that apple have been having. In the beginning they say how a employee, Lai Ziadong face blew up and his skin came off and shortly died after. The reason why he died is because the factory was having trouble with aluminum dust and they already knew that aluminum dust was hazardous but they still went along with it. In the factory they had bad conditions and the workers complained a lot but apple didn't care. Apple kept denying the fact that it was bad, they said " Conditions at foxxconn are anything but harsh", they also said "Foxxconn has a safety record."

After the explosion they improved ventilation and dust disposal, and adopted technologies to have safety for the workers, but it was too late someone had already died. Most people said that they like apple and don't find anything bad about it and a little bit of people said bad things about it. Most people don't know about this and they continue to buy apple products.

I think that it is bad that some apple factories do not have good safety for the workers and that they could die any time if something slips up. Apple products are very good but i stil think they should make the workers feel safety. I own a apple product and it works very good. Hopefully apple protects their employees and no more explosions happen in factories.
