Badly performing workers were humiliated in front of colleagues and workers are banned from talking and are made to stand up for their 12-hour shifts. They said some workers put in 60 to 80 hours of overtime a month for minimum pay. http://www.wgntv.com/news/wgntv-chinese-factory-workers-suicide-pact-may2,0,5103081.story?track=rss [/quote] so fucking what? there are manufacturing jobs in the US that have the same conditions and they are not killing themselves over it. see we are stronger [/quote] You're an idiot and don't know all the details these workers live in filth on site ; cockroaches everywhere the conditions are much worse If you knew anything about china ; you would know that they don't have worker's rights, NO workers comp ; no Osca regulations [/quote]
Original Message
Factories making sought-after Apple iPads and iPhones in China are forcing staff to sign pledges not to commit suicide, an investigation has revealed.
At least 14 workers at Foxconn factories in China have killed themselves in the last 16 months as a result of horrendous working conditions.
Many more are believed to have either survived attempts or been stopped before trying at the Apple supplier's plants in Chengdu or Shenzen.
