According to reports from China, Apple is currently working closely with Foxconn to resolve a legal situation that opened up from initial reports that Foxconn’s manufacturing facilities were treating its employees poorly. As DailyTech previously reported, Apple generated a report from a probe it launched and determined that while most of Foxconn’s facilities were well received by employees, there were areas that clearly needed to be addressed. All the negative press from Apple’s probe and the original articles proved a little too much for Foxconn. The Taiwanese electronics conglomerate decided to take matters to court and sue two Chinese journalists who originally broke the story for roughly $3.77 million USD. The lawsuit has provoked the Reporters Without Borders group to send Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs a letter asking him to look into the matter. Foxconn is a major manufacturer of Apple products, specifically the iPod family of mobile music players.
