Overseas factories' "bonded servitude" practice is ending—at least for Apple suppliers, the company announced in its 2015 Supplier Responsibility Progress Report.
The practice forced new employees to pay a fee of sometimes more than a month's salary just for being introduced to the factory through a third-party recruiter, according to BBC. Many employees were in debt, and some had their passports confiscated until they paid off the debt.
