- KC's View:
- I do think that Apple’s position atop such lists could be endangered if it is not able to effectively address the questions about labor policies employed by its suppliers in Asia. Those issues are not going away; it’ll be interesting to see if CEO Tim Cook talks about them during tomorrow’s new product announcements.
