Less Than $1 An Hour To Make iPads

CNN's Stan Grant was recently able to sit down with a Foxconn worker to talk about the conditions in which she makes Apple products.

CNN's Stan Grant was recently able to sit down with a Foxconn worker to talk about the conditions in which she makes Apple products. The industrial giant Foxconn manufactures electronics for just about every consumer electronics company in the world, but Apple has taken a large part of the brunt when it comes to concern about the people who live and work in massive industrial cities. In this video, Grant shows this young woman a finished iPad for the first time, despite the fact that she works 60-hour weeks putting screens on the very same devices.

Apple has been heavily criticized for their associations with Foxconn, which is somewhat disingenuous, considering how many other companies use their facilities as well. At the same time, Apple is sitting on a veritable treasure trove of cash, and if any company in the world could do something about these claims, it's Apple.
