Apple suspended new business with key supplier Pegatron after finding that the Taiwanese company violated the American smartphone maker’s rules related to student worker programs at its China facilities

By Yifan Wang Nov. 9, 2020 5:25 am ET Apple Inc. AAPL -0.11% suspended new business with key supplier Pegatron Corp. 4938 -2.09% after finding that the Taiwanese company violated the U.S. smartphone maker’s rules related to student worker programs at its China facilities.

The Cupertino, Calif.-based technology giant said it placed Pegatron on probation and won’t give the Taiwanese company any new business until it completes all required corrective actions. “Pegatron misclassified the student workers in their program and falsified paperwork to disguise violations of our code,” Apple said in a statement.Shares of the Taipei-based electronics company fell in late trading on Monday. Its shares closed 2.1% lower, the company’s steepest one-day decline since late September.

In a statement, Pegatron said the violations involved its plants in Shanghai and Kunshan, Jiangsu province. The company said it has since removed the student workers from production lines and made arrangements for them to return home or to school with proper compensation.

Apple siding with Uighur-oppressing China. Again. Say, didn’t Apple move all of their production to China to AVOID PAYING TAXES? Apple must’ve been trying some shady shit with Huwei and the Pentagon shut that right down and that hurt Apple corporation’s feelings

Must have been a competitor of there’s in the child labor market🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

This is all for show. American companies get rich off of cheap labor. That includes cheap kid labor. Nothing new to see.

Well, look at the backbone on that company. Im-f*cking-pressive!
