Campaigners say they were motivated to act by media reports about supply workers’ conditions. An online petition, signed by 155,000 people, has called on Apple to do more to ensure its Chinese factory workers are treated better. The campaign, on Change.org, follows reports of poor working conditions in factories that make Apple products. A separate SumOfUs petition, with more than 43,000 signatories, calls for the iPhone 5 to be made “ethically”. Apple acknowledged the demands. Its chief executive earlier said it cared about every worker in its supply chain. The Change petition was organised by Washington-based communications worker Mark Shields.
