In a move to push Apple to improve poor labor and safety issues in its supplier facilities, watchdog groups SumOfUs and Change.org delivered petitions today with more than 250,000 signatures to a number of Apples stores around the world. In the petitions, people are asking Apple to "overhaul the way its suppliers treat their workers," ahead of the release of its next iPhone, which is expected to come out later this year.
Here, outside an Apple store in San Francisco, representatives from Change.org wear signs decrying Apple for what they say are human rights abuses in overseas manufacturing facilities.
