The 'code of conduct' is a sham:

Foxconn and Pegatron issue fake payroll slips to hide long hours, threaten workers to tick boxes saying they consent to working nights, overtime is mandatory, ID cards are illegally confiscated leaving workers trapped at the plants.

The employee education program is a joke. Employees are herded into a hall, shown some slides and then asked to take a test. The answers are shouted out and repeated in unison by everyone. Thus everyone scores 100% and passes.

I'm pointing out that even if they were doing it correctly, and you gave Apple the benefit of the doubt. Their current successes have no reached enough of their supplier chain to brag about, or make the claims they did.

So even if your only source is Apple. Apple's claims don't stack up with their documents. A.K.A. lying though your teeth.

Good spot catching that Apple's own documents don't stack up with their claims. But this is how the company operates as a whole - sell the sizzle, not the steak. I think they simply thought that nobody would actually bother to verify their claims.
