Apple Request Foxconn Investigation
Everyone who wanted a reason to hate Apple made this an Apple problem. Apple has responded like any reputable company would. Now lets see how long before they find a way to make this negative.

Apple on Monday said that it has asked the Fair Labor Association to conduct "special voluntary audits" of several of its Chinese suppliers' manufacturing facilities. Most notable among the companies is Foxconn, the partner which recently came under scrutiny for alleged mistreatment of workers at Chinese factories.
In a statement, Apple said that in addition to interviewing thousands of workers about living and working conditions at some of the factories, the FLA "will inspect manufacturing areas, dormitories and other facilities, and will conduct an extensive review of documents related to procedures at all stages of employment."
