Like every year, Apple will soon organize its usualmeeting with investorsto detail its forecast and the challenges encountered over the last twelve months. But long before, the main stakeholders are already preparing the questions they will ask the Cupertino giant on the big day. The opportunity to take a quick overview of the questions that are being refined behind the scenes...
Starting with those relating tounionism. If in France this subject is not really debated as it is anchored in morals, across the Atlantic, it is something else. Indeed, in the United States, Apple employees are just beginning to come together to defend their rights before the relevant authorities. And until now, the management of this training by the management of the Apple firm has proven to be quite mixed: it has sometimes been criticized fortry to silence - more or less discreetly - the protest. However, this has not yet been proven in court.
Foxconn and other providers in the sights
With this, of course, it is also the subcontractors who are involved. We can no longer count the cases of suicides, child workers or simply long hours which overwhelm Foxconn. The group is responsible forassemble millions of iPhonesin its factories, many of which are based in China. A country that pays little attention to human rights.
SumOfUs, a group of activists, also wants to get more answers about the forced recruitment ofUighurs. This has been taking place for several years within the Middle Kingdom according to several humanitarian investigations and Apple partners are still suspected of taking part in it. For his part,Tim Cook's company has already stopped collaborating with companies accused of this.
Telework
Finally, according to information coming from the very seriousFinancial Times, some shareholders also want to know more about respecting teleworking. Since September, in the United States, Apple employees have had to reportin the office at least three days a week. But many have enjoyed being at home or coworking since the coronavirus crisis and therefore have difficulty accepting this return to basics. And this even if Apple remains consideredone of the most pleasant companies to serve in.
