CLW believes that if Apple institutes the following measures throughout all of its  suppliers, it will have taken a significant step toward improving workers’ conditions:

• The specific amount of social insurance paid to workers should be transparent  to them, included on their pay stubs and available when workers make inquiries  to the company;
• Factories should provide all mandatory insurance in full, including the housing  fund;
• Factories should restrict the hiring of  temporary (or dispatch) labor at a given  factory to no more than 10% of the workforce, in compliance with Chinese law;
• Workers should not be made to work without corresponding pay;
• The base wage rate should be increased significantly above the local minimu m  wage so that workers do not need to depend on overtime to make a living;
• Worker housing should be hygienic and more spacious;
• Pre - job safety training should last for at least 24 hours, as required by law, and  workers should be taught specifically what chemicals and hazards they will  encounter in their positions and how to mitigate health risks;
• All workers should receive appropriate protective equipment and be taught how  to properly use it before beginning work;
• Industrial processes should be adjusted to  allow workers a chance to both stand  and sit or lean while they work;  
• Factories should ensure that workers have pre - job, on - the - job, and  pre - resignation physical exams, as required by law, for which the factory pays for  all fees;
• Let workers elect enterp rise - level union representatives that can actually represent worker interests....
