[/quote] in China if the have to shoot you, because you have broken the law, they send a bill to the family. It could be if they commit suicide, their families would be fined or penalized in some way. [/quote] They would maybe cancel the insurance or pension funds :yeahsure: [/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.
