Apple Inc., maker of the iPad and iPhone, will face protesters tomorrow who want the company to change its manufacturing practices to address criticism of worker conditions at manufacturing partners operating in China.
Customers plan to present a petition signed by more than 250,000 people asking the company to develop a worker-protection strategy that prevents abuse at Chinese factories where its gadgets are made, according to a statement from Change.org, a website that helped facilitate the petition.
