Really it is closer to moral relativism. The employees of Foxconn are better off than many many of their countries citizens. These employees have food shelter and (it would seem) a better than average wage for where they live. Certainly there is room for improvement as stated in the Forbes article.
Conversely most of us in the US have never volunteered at a homeless shelter or soup kitchen. Most people ignore the man at the street corner or maybe throw a couple dollars his or her way. Most people do not think about the Salvation Army (who served 59.9 million meals to the needy in 2010) unless they are trying off load some old junk or hear the bells near Christmas time.
Point being that there are people in our own cities far more needy than these Foxconn employees. Yet, I have witnessed first hand people who make an anti-Apple "morality" complaint with out ever lifting a finger for those in need. That is what I call immoral.
