Apple’s Steve Jobs responds to LabourStart’s Foxconn campaign [Updated]
Steve Jobs of Apple
This is starting to appear all over the net.
UPDATE: Fortune is now running with this story. There’s also a version on PCPro, the website of a very important print magazine in the UK. Versions are appearing in different languages including German, French, Italian and Chinese.
I first read about it on “App Advice” which wrote that “the conversation began with Jay’s forwarding of a LabourStart campaign email, which included the message” — and then goes on to quote our campaign.
They apparently picked up the story from “MacStories” — which actually includes a link to LabourStart in its article, as well a screen shot of our email message about the Foxconn campaign.
I wrote to Jobs myself yesterday, as did Derek Blackadder, and we’ll let you know here if he responds.

There seems to be something missing here. What did you and Derek write to Steve Jobs and what was his response?
We both wrote to him about Foxconn but he has not yet replied to either one of us.
This is the second time I have followed this link looking for Jobs response.
So you say there is none?
Then this is VERY misleading: “It’s not every day that a giant of the corporate world, someone who has become a household name, responds to a LabourStart campaign personally — but that’s what happened this week with Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple computers. Read more here.”
Perhaps an edit is in order?
