84 percent compliance on no forced overtime isn't great, but it gives a guy like me hope that I can own an iPhone 5 without having blood on my hands.

The pressure must remain on Apple to put human beings first, before profits. That hasn't happened in a convincing fashion yet.

84% compliance isn't great, but you still see "coerced" overtime in western countries. I picked my wife up at 9:30 on the day before Christmas eve as she had no choice but to finish her work (she works for a law firm and the deadlines if not met can cause a multi-million dollar case to be thrown out). Even though I know it was necessary for her job, I can't agree with employers doing this. The lawyers make 6 figures minimum (her lawyer is a senior partner and gets a share of the company profits so well above 1 mil a year). Yet my wife makes $35,000 and has to bust her ass yet they can't afford to hire anyone else so their workers aren't constantly running on deadlines.

At least my wife's lawyer will not allow her (no arguing) to get paid overtime pay. If she works late, she gets the time off. Some of her coworkers have been paid almost double their wage in overtime pay because the company won't hire them more workers. This is illogical to me. Why pay someone double for 65 hours when you can pay two people for 80 hours.
