Abstract
With a growing reliance on oversea suppliers, electronics companies such as Apple have encountered the troubling issue of foreign labor abuse. It has been well-documented that several oversea suppliers have provided an unsafe working environment for their employees. Such abuses include instances of forced overtime and the improper handling of chemicals among other violations. In spite of these violations of employee labor rights, oversea suppliers often fail to address such issues despite labor policies put in place by these electronics companies. This essay seeks to establish the need for greater corporate transparency to combat these issues while also offering alternative ways to further expose and address the problem of foreign labor abuse.
