Yes bigboss....still hung up on the low pay and dormatory livingof the poor downtrodden workers I am afraid.
Perhaps this is because I was a Shop Steward and Works Convener for around 30 years....so up the Workers I say! :rofl:
Just because the pay is better than most outside does not make it right for Apple to still pay peanuts when they could do so much better. Perhaps at least allow them to stay and live in proper houses rather than dormatories would help.
And of course according to your quote above they are living high on the hog in comparison to most of the other poor rods that live in that country.
Perhaps this is why......
"Two more workers attempted to commit suicide on Thursday by jumping from the top of dormitory buildings at its giant Longhua factory, according to sources at the site. Both survived and are currently hospitalised.
On Wednesday night, just hours after the chairman of Foxconn assured hundreds of reporters that the plant was under control, a 23-year-old man killed himself.
So far, at least 16 people have jumped from high buildings at the factory so far this year, with 12 deaths. A further 20 people were stopped by the company before they could attempt to kill themselves.
The hysteria at Longhua, where between 300,000 and 400,000 employees eat, work and sleep, has grown to such a pitch that workers have twisted Foxconn’s Chinese name so that it now sounds like": “Run to your Death”.
What are they wanting to escape from then......Happy Times Pay and Living Conditions at Apple?
Anyway, I can see that you and I are never going to agree on this one....so let us just agree to disagree otherwise this subject will take over my life.
By the way, I see that you have done loads of good posts here, so great respect to you for that.
Best Regards

PS.....if you would care to do a Google for Kenny Thain you will find that I do get rather wound up about quite a lot of things!
But now I find myself mellowing! :cheers:
