Seriously, this is NOT a good sign for AAPL.

If you object to a corporation to have humanitarian goals and not concentrate solely on the bottom line, that's up to you and your investment dollars.
If you have no objection to corporations whose business strategy is solely about the return on investment (ROI), then you have a large group of other investment choices.
Apple has a strong voice, but only indirect control as to the business practices of a vendor with the size of a FoxConn (Taiwan), whose customer list includes Apple as well as other companies, some of which you may have heard of:
Acer Inc. (Taiwan)
Amazon.com (United States)
Apple Inc. (United States)
BlackBerry Ltd. (Canada)
Cisco (United States)
Dell (United States)
Google (United States)
Hewlett-Packard (United States)
Microsoft (United States)
Motorola Mobility (United States)
Nintendo (Japan)
Nokia (Finland)
Sony (Japan)
Toshiba (Japan)
Vizio (United States)
Micromax Mobile (India)

Let us know about the bottom line policies of the other companies on the above list.
The following link might help investors choose corporations whose policies are more in line with their sensibilities, not that they all adhere to their official statements:
Business & Human Rights : Policies
Of equal value could be the corporations absent on that list (yeah, APPL isn't on the list). And since this is an automotive-related forum, see how many auto manufacturers are on the above list, US-based and otherwise.
