Apple supplier Biel Crystal violates workers rights: Hong Kong activists

BEIJING - Biel Crystal Manufactory Ltd, a Hong-Kong based company that makes screens for Apple Inc , is violating workers' rights at its Chinese factories, a Hong Kong rights group alleged in a report.
The Students & Scholars Against Corporate Misbehaviour (SACOM) report said Biel Crystal, which makes iPhone screens, requires its employees to work 11-hour shifts, seven days a week, with only one day off each month.
Employees are also often injured and not given reasonable compensation and have to sign blank contracts, the report said. At least five workers at the firm's Guangdong factory in mainland China committed suicide since 2011, it added.
