Demand Apple and Samsung Protect Workers from being Poisoned

Joseph,
When Xiao Ya moved from her mountain village to Shenzhen, the teenager was amazed at how large the Chinese city was. She was thrilled to get a job in an electronics factory, where she spent all day cleaning computer chips with industrial solvents.
But the job she thought would be her ticket to a bigger and better life made her sick instead. The assembly line was unventillated. She eventually got used to the smell of the chemicals, but worse than the smell was the paralysis. She was soon unable to walk, too weak to work. The diagnosis was occupational benezene poisoning.
Complicit, a new documentary, tells Xiao's story, along with those of other workers who have been poisoned while making the devices we can't live without.
It is heart-breaking to hear the first-hand accounts of workers dying of cancer just so Apple, Samsung, and other electronics manufacturers can save a few pennies, and so consumers can have the latest upgrade.
It doesn't have to be like this. Experts estimate that eliminating dangerous industrial chemicals from the manufacturing process would add less than $1 to the price of each device.
Watch the Complicit trailer and sign the petition demanding Apple and Samsung protect workers by removing all known toxins and cancer-causing chemicals such as benzene and n-hexane from all stages of the device manufacturing supply chain.
Thank you for taking action,
Aaron V.
