Tesco is struggling to keep up with demand for its new low-cost Hudl tablet and has run out of stock at least twice since launching at the end of September.
Tesco, which manufactures the Hudl in the Chinese city of Wuxi, insisted it would not miss out on the festive trading rush. “We are working with our suppliers to get more Hudls in to meet demand, with regular deliveries expected especially in the run-up to Christmas,” said a spokesman.
By working with their suppliers do they mean working them into the ground as per the allegations against Apple.
Quote from that article:
A report by China Labor Watch accuses St Petersburg, Florida-based
Jabil of violations, including excessive working hours, forcing female
workers to accept pregnancy tests to be hired and providing only five
minutes to eat meals.
The report is the latest accusation Apple
has faced for its labor practices. Apple designs its products at its
headquarters, then relies on a network of suppliers and contract
manufacturers to build them.
Jabil’s alleged violations were
documented at a plant in Wuxi, China, which China Labor Watch said
builds the rear plastic covers for a less-expensive iPhone that Apple is
set to unveil on Wednesday.
Don't add to their suffering by buying stuff we don't need, lets instead campaign for better working conditions and pay for these people.
Lets care about each other on this planet, wake up and see how strong we are TOGETHER!
