A labour rights group marked the launch of Apple’s latest iPhone with a report accusing one of the smartphone giant’s Chinese suppliers of exploiting factory workers.
Hong Kong-based Students and Scholars Against Corporate Misbehaviour say Lens Technology, which makes touchscreen glass, used forced overtime, withheld wages and risked workers’ health after a months-long investigation into three of its factories.
Company founder Zhou Qunfei, herself a former factory worker, became China’s richest woman after Lens Technology’s debut on the Shenzhen stock exchange in March.
