“That fee needs to be paid by the supplier, and Apple ultimately bears that fee when we pay the supplier and we’re OK doing that,” Jeff Williams, Apple senior vice president of operations, told BBC. “We just don’t want the worker to absorb that.”
Aside from ending bonded labor, Apple aims to halt child labor and exploitation of student workers. The company also boasted that it had reached 92 percent compliance for limiting workweeks to 60 hours. It requires one day of mandated rest and voluntary overtime as well.
