[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 3923516, member: 56035"] i watched this video last night too about how CSAT who "fixes" apple products treats its workers. in summary it looks like they are abusing visa system to hire vietnamese workers who can either take the abuse at their job or go back to the 3rd world. this is near a major american city where the vietnamese pop is only 1% but 80% of workers at the job are vietnamese. we have immigrants at my job, and im not sure if they are all free to find another job, i know one has, but i recall thinking this before. ditto for if you are sacked with debt: youre going to conform. they have 1 bathroom per 500 people. OSHA got invovled. a fountain a football field away along with the lunch room if i recall. they put crappy used parts in apple products. there are quotas and it leads to poor decisions by the workers. probably the most wasteful thing is instead of calling the customer to get the password, they will replace whole non broken parts with new ones. sometimes they just make stuff up to get their numbers up. we used to have quotas at my job although they werent covered under the collective agreement (and many of the workers were too lazy to even meet them) and i would just write other peoples numbers down or do half the job and send it back. its just a bureacracy. this employee has been working at CSAT for 10 years and hasnt got a raise. he makes a whole $15 / hr "fixing" apple products. they hire people who have no experience to "fix" apple stuff under warranty. the worker makes comparisions between the 3rd world and his job in texas. and i agree, there is more in common with slavery, state communism, and capitalism, than there are real differences and thats why they all fail for a majority of people. they are thinking about unionizing, which they havent done yet because american workers are all knowing about economics and always make the right decision. again, this is one of the businesses who apple sends its under warranty products to.
