Apple admits excessive iPod hours

Apple Computer has said a report of labour conditions at its iPod plant in China found workers did more than 60 hours a week a third of the time.

Staff making the world’s most popular MP3 player also worked more than six consecutive days 25% of the time.

Apple said the hours were “excessive” and said its supplier would now be enforcing a “normal” 60-hour week.

The California-based firm said its report found “no evidence of enforced labour” or use of child workers.
