Apple continues to break labor laws

In other news, it turns out that Apple is able to design a smartphone and Foxcon can manufacture it but something as simple as stopping people from working greater than 60 hours a week still escapes their grasp. 
Remember when Apple and Foxconn pledged to improve working conditions, increase wages and limit work weeks to 60 hours? Turns out they're still working on that. According to a recent investigation by China's Fair Labor Association, Hon Hai Precision (Foxconn's official name) is "not in compliance" with laws limiting overtime to 36 hours a month.
Well done apple.
