'Ethical iPhone' protests hit Apple stores
Protesters visited a half-dozen Apple stores around the world on Thursday to deliver petitions calling for reforms in the working conditions at factories run by Apple's suppliers in China and other overseas locations.

Good! Problem is I doubt the petition points out the fact that all the other manufacturers are doing the same things..... It's just "pick on Apple month" because they say they care.

Re: 'Ethical iPhone' protests hit Apple stores
I guess it's (even) more of an issue with Apple because they have such high profits and a massive markup on their products - it's not like they couldn't afford to look after their employees.

Furthermore, they do have something of an image as a responsible, ethical, alternative corporation, though I'm not sure how this has come about - probably just the (former?) contrast between them and the all-consuming Microsoft.
