As many of you will be aware, the Apple iPad (pictured) had its world-wide launch this weekend.
What you may not know is that the factory which produces it, in China, has been the scene of a dozen worker suicides in recent months.
We've been asked by unions and NGOs in Hong Kong and Taiwan to launch a big international campaign to put pressure on the factory owners -- and on Apple -- to probe why this is happening, and to allow workers there to have real, independent unions that can bargain collectively.
