Apple’s domineering and despotic ideology has finally started to anger the masses. The voice of freedom in the face of malicious tyranny has not come for the general public, but rather from employees at an outsourced iPhone assembly plant. Two thousand disgruntled employees walked off the job, furious over the lack of bonus compensation that was promised and hazardous working conditions that could possibly have resulted in the deaths of several employees in 2009. Wintek, the owner of the assembly plant, has vehemently denied any connection between working conditions and the health of employees, but has not offered an alternative theory concerning the rash of deaths that plagued the plant last year. One speculation is that Wintek cut corners for financial reasons and employee safety was considered an unnecessary expenditure. Apple, of course, is interested in keeping the manufacturing cost of the iPhone down and conveniently remained ignorant. Wintek, scrambling to minimize PR damage, has announced that the employees will be compensated accordingly regarding the bonus payments.
