The Fair Labor Association released its most recent audit of Foxconn?s labor and employment practices. While previous reports show Foxconn as managing inhumane sweatshops, the new report shows progress toward improving labor standards and reducing the excessive hours it requires employees to work. Many of the factories in China have reached the labor standards goals that were set out over a year ago, but are still over the legal limit of a 49-hour maximum work week. The FLA report mentions that even as some Apple contractors get better, new violations are being uncovered at others, specifically citing Pegatron Corp?s recent woes.
