Many people know about and all of the poor working conditions. A lot of these poor working conditions take place over seas. They have nets set up in china so workers will not be able to commit suicide. When apple was about to release the iPhone 5C the workers had to work longer hours and in worse conditions. The labor violations apple's producer has committed is extensive. This begs the question how far people will go just to make a profit.
