In 2014, Apple forced suppliers to reimburse $3.96 million in excess fees (aka more than a month's pay, according to BBC) to more than 4,500 foreign contract workers, according to Apple's report. Since Apple's program debuted, suppliers returned $20.96 million to 30,000 foreign contract workers. In order to end this bonded labor, Apple informed suppliers in October that no worker employed on an Apple line could be charged recruitment fees starting in 2015. Those who violate it will be forced to pay back the money to its workers.
