In support of your comment, why can't apple have a few DIRECT EMPLOYEES at each major supplier factory full time to monitor the working conditions and terms adherence on a day to day basis ?


Perhaps they do. I’m not sure this would solve the problem.

As a manager have you ever tried to change the behavior of even a single employee?

If there is a culture problem with the management, an observer won’t solve that.


Apple could just buy Wistrom with money they would scrounge under the sofas at their HQ.


Only if the Indian government allows it.

In any case, how would that solve anything?

Can you think of a single example where acquiring a problematic company solved its problems?
