Contracts can include penalties like late fees, having such penalties apply to poor worker conditions is well within their negotiating power for a new contract.

It's within their negotiating power, and Apple appears to have negotiated such terms, since they say they're investigating potential violations of their supplier agreement. What the original commenter wanted, and what I don't think we should be encouraging companies to do, was intrusive audits to prevent the violations from happening in the first place.
