A comment on iPhone factory workers say they haven’t been paid, cause millions in damages. Parent comment

If you take in account that the public company works in their shareholders best interest, i would say it is done with silent approval of shareholders. Ugly, mutated form of slavery.

Y'all are skipping the step where Apple doesn't approve of this 3rd-party manufacturer. You can't transitive that to Apple's shareholders.

Shareholders -> Apple -/-> Wistron -> underpaid labor.

(Edit: Wistron's shareholders? Sure. I didn't realize it was a public company or that parent comment was talking about it.)

You can transitive that to shareholders because Wistron itself is a public company (TWSE: 3231).

So Shareholders -> Wistron -> underpaid labor.

Ah, thanks. I assumed the comment I replied to was talking about Apple's shareholders. My mistake.
