Sorry to say but if you worry about working conditions you shouldn't buy most electronic products since they are mostly manufactured in asia. No apple or ibm or Fusi or hp or whatever.
You shouldn't buy most clothes. Most of them are also manufactured in asia.
You shouldn't buy most toys as mayn of them are also manufactured in asia.
And there are many other things too. Every thought about how diamonds are scratched from earth in africa or some metals ? Really bad working conditions.
Base problem is that "The Market" requires low prices as customers are not willing to pay high prices when there are companies offering the same product for less. And when it comes to prices you can't beat the east.
I'm sorry about that but i think it's the truth.
