Apple and Foxconn said they employed too many temporary workers in Chinese facilities where iPhones are manufactured after a watchdog accused them of violating several labor laws, according to Bloomberg. The report came on Monday, a day before Apple is expected to reveal its new iPhones at a California event.
China Labor Watch (CLW) reported that undercover investigators in Foxconn’s Zhengzhou plant discovered that about 50% of the workforce were temporary staff — known as dispatch workers — in August, even though Chinese law allows a 10% maximum.
