The organisation said Apple was involved in some of the reasons for the dispute, pressing ahead with production demands despite design problems. The new quality demands included "indentations standards of 0.02mm and demands related to scratches on frames and back covers" China Labor Watch said.

If they complained under any other circumstances, it'd go unnoticed.
The high international profile of the iPhone, is unique.

As for getting off on local holidays, that should have been accounted for in the production schedule.
After all, happy employees are productive employees.

What I'd read about the scratch ability of the 5, is in stark contradiction to the brushed stainless of the 4 & 4S.
If they're so delicate they can't get a good one down the production line, then it was a foolhardy idea from the start.
