Apple, meet Nike.


Leonie Barrie of Juststyle has posted this news from Nike.
In it, there is a snippet of information that Apple may need to take notice of if they are to achieve their stated goal of resolving their overtime issues.

I quote, "But the company says in some areas "progress was slower than targeted," including the reduction of excessive overtime within factories. Crucially, 68% of excessive overtime incidents in 128 factories were found to be due to factors that Nike itself could influence".

68%, just in case you missed that.

So Apple, tell me again how you are going to manage this task if you are not taking a long hard look internally and addressing the  impacts of your own purchasing/sourcing practices.

Thank you Nike for bring this to their attention
