India's National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has ordered a new, thorough investigation into Foxconn's hiring practices at its iPhone manufacturing plant in southern India. This follows an initial probe deemed inadequate.
The NHRC admonished labor officials for failing to scrutinize hiring documents and address the core issue of alleged discrimination against married women in recruitment for iPhone assembly jobs.
This renewed scrutiny into a key Apple supplier's labor practices highlights ethical concerns within Apple's supply chain and could lead to mandated changes in hiring policies, potentially impacting production stability.
