Following the reports of workers' suicides at Apple inc, The Fair Labor Association (FLA) is beginning a study of its working conditions. President of the FLA didn't offer any conclusions yet but commented that monotony, boredom, and alienation could have had an impact on the workers' taking their lives. He also mentioned that many of the workers leave their families, which can also have a major impact on the suicides. As of now, the FLA believes that it would be a good idea for some type of program to provide emotional support. Other than that, the FLA were very impressed with the factory they inspected.(from financialpost.com, written by Terril Jones)
