Hot on the heels of This American Life’s Mike Daisey takedown, Apple has revised its Supplier Responsibility homepage to reflect its latest monthly update (as promised) about working conditions at its suppliers’ factories. The company says that over 500,000 workers actually worked less during a peak iPad production month thanks to rules laid out in its Supplier Code of Conduct. Instead of 60-hour work weeks like they’d been accustomed to (the maximum inside Apple’s Code), workers actually averaged closer to 48 hour work weeks during February 2012.
You can view the updated report on the company’s website.
