"We have been pressuring Apple, and its new CEO Tim Cook, for years to compensate those of us who were injured working for them, and demanding reform of working conditions at their Chinese factories so that their workers don't suffer like we do," the two wrote in a translated statement. "Now we need your help as customers or potential customers of Apple."

The pair says it wants the petition to reach 100,000 signatures by tomorrow morning, some 15,000 more than the survey's current tally at the time of publication.
