Αρκετά εκνευρισμένος με το ρεπορτάζ των New York Times
σχετικά με τις άσχημες συνθήκες εργασίας στα εργοστάσια στην Κίνα υπό
την ανοχή της Apple φαίνεται ότι είναι ο Tim Cook, CEO της εταιρείας, σε
εσωτερικό e-mail που έστειλε στους υπαλλήλους της εταιρείας.
Το ρεπορτάζ των New York Times
ζωγραφίζει μια άσχημη εικόνα για την Apple, η οποία παρουσιάζεται να
ανέχεται άσχημες συνθήκες εργασίας για μεγαλύτερα κέρδη και ευελιξία.
Ωστόσο, ο Tim Cook φαίνεται ότι δεν
συμφωνεί με το ρεπορτάζ που αμφισβητεί τις αξίες της Apple και αποκαλεί
τις κατηγορίες για αδιαφορία «ψευδείς και προσβλητικές».
Ακολουθεί το mail του Tim Cook στους υπαλλήλους:
Team,
As a company and as individuals, we are defined by our values.
Unfortunately some people are questioning Apple’s values today, and I’d
like to address this with you directly. We care about every worker in
our worldwide supply chain. Any accident is deeply troubling, and any
issue with working conditions is cause for concern. Any suggestion that
we don’t care is patently false and offensive to us. As you know better
than anyone, accusations like these are contrary to our values. It’s not
who we are.
For the many hundreds of you who are based at our suppliers’
manufacturing sites around the world, or spend long stretches working
there away from your families, I know you are as outraged by this as I
am. For the people who aren’t as close to the supply chain, you have a
right to know the facts.
Every year we inspect more factories, raising the bar for our
partners and going deeper into the supply chain. As we reported earlier
this month, we’ve made a great deal of progress and improved conditions
for hundreds of thousands of workers. We know of no one in our industry
doing as much as we are, in as many places, touching as many people.
At the same time, no one has been more up front about the challenges
we face. We are attacking problems aggressively with the help of the
world’s foremost authorities on safety, the environment, and fair labor.
It would be easy to look for problems in fewer places and report
prettier results, but those would not be the actions of a leader.
Earlier this month we opened our supply chain for independent
evaluations by the Fair Labor Association. Apple was in a unique
position to lead the industry by taking this step, and we did it without
hesitation. This will lead to more frequent and more transparent
reporting on our supply chain, which we welcome. These are the kinds of
actions our customers expect from Apple, and we will take more of them
in the future.
We are focused on educating workers about their rights, so they are
empowered to speak up when they see unsafe conditions or unfair
treatment. As you know, more than a million people have been trained by
our program.
We will continue to dig deeper, and we will undoubtedly find more
issues. What we will not do — and never have done — is stand still or
turn a blind eye to problems in our supply chain. On this you have my
word. You can follow our progress at apple.com/supplierresponsibility.
To those within Apple who are tackling these issues every day, you
have our thanks and admiration. Your work is significant and it is
changing people’s lives. We are all proud to work alongside you.
Tim
