Manufacturing Apple products is now an instant ticket to increased scrutiny following the years-long investigation into Apple partner Foxconn's treatment of workers in its various factories. While manufacturing rival Pegatron no doubt welcomed the recent strengthening of its partnership with Apple, it now finds itself the subject of a China Labor Watch complaint. The U.S.-based watchdog group said in a recently released report that Pegatron's facilities are even worse than Foxconn's. It claims to have found at least 86 violations of labor rights during its recent investigation, including 36 legal violations and 50 ethical violations. Apple responded to the group's claims in a statement to The Wall Street Journal, noting that it will launch its own investigation but it has audited Pegatron's facilities 15 times in the last six years and its findings do not align with the claims made by China Labor Watch.
