Absolute nonsense - the real story is, surprisingly enough, the story - reported by a truly independent newspaper in a factual manner about a matter of public interest.
This investigation is not the result of nasty journalists ganging up on a decent employer, and Apple itself has acknowledged this by going into this process - note: they are not saying it's lies dreamed up by the gutter press, or even the un-crude, un-sensationalist press.
And they should know, shouldn't they ?
They do work there.....
And the investigators involved have a proven track record, having been responsible for improving the conditions of those working in the textile industry - not some "lefty, do-good" bunch of idiots with no experience of what is required, and what is just.
And no, of course Apple aren't the only guilty parties - but they are one of them, as the company itself admits, and any correcting of the situation has to start somewhere, so a big-name player, with admitted problems, is obviously a good place to start.
And no, the textile industry, or indeed any industry with a profit motive, isn't completely perfect - but a lot of that is down to companies upping sticks and moving somewhere else, after any corrective measures are introduced, so they can continue "not to be aware of" the reasons it is again conveniently cheaper to carry on business
Unlike the last place they were in, where perhaps "...........crude and sensationalist journalists..........." had the temerity to expose the situation.
And the "anti-suicide nets" approach is an interesting take on solving what seems to be a problem that perhaps might be worth looking into, by any company - let alone one of the biggest companies in the world ?
