Defining The Problem
Defining The Problem
Apple Company violates its employees’ rights and labor laws. This is evidenced by the
long working hours its employees have to perform their tasks. Audits done in the
company revealed that the employees were working in the company for a duration of
more than 60 hours a week and some employees worked in the organization for a
duration of more than six days a week. The company is involved in the employment of
children who are less than 15 years and provides false information in their records. The
employees are paid less wages as compared to the duration of their work (Zimmerli,
2006).
The employees responsible for marketing these innovations are required by the
organization to work for long periods of time causing burnout and exhaustion to these
employees. Employees have faced incidences of injuries such as motion injuries,
injuries due to exposure to toxic chemical substances, and the provision of unhealthy
working conditions under the pretext of promoting innovations contributing to the
violation of the employees’ labor rights hence, engaging in unethical behaviors
(Creemer, 2009).
