    Answer: The answer is provided below

    Explanation:

    With overseas factories that continue to move to new locations with a lower labour costs, the monitoring and controlling working conditions becomes a challenge. Research has shown that companies do little to monitor human rights violations in the low-cost supply chain locations.

    A scandal involving Apple was reported in 2014 at a manufacturing building in China. The building which was owned by Catcher Technology Co., manufactures metal iPad covers for iPhones. Some findings included hiring discrimination, locked safety exits, excessive work hours, and also unpaid overtime each month totalling about $290,000 in owed wages. The factory was reported to have been dumping its industrial fluids and waste into nearby rivers, and also not providing proper toxic equipment for the employees.

    Human rights of these people saw n those area are being abused by having them exposed to pollution, which can lead to lung diseases.

    Companies like Apple have said that they are continuing to monitor situations like this, and are fixing them, but we still hear cases of more wrongdoings, therefore you have to wonder how vital these issues truly are to the firms involved.
