FOXCONN - 10 reported dead in riot | |
J-Rod (OP) User ID: 1289281 United States 09/24/2012 04:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Our sources indicated that one of the security guards hit a Foxconn worker and this made even more of the workers angry and they started to beat up the security guard and others who tried to stop the fighting. Eventually as the Foxconn hired security was overwhelmed rather quickly, they called for backup. They have said it is a dispute between “workers” that started between 10-11pm on September 23rd. However it rapidly escalated from there. Maybe it was that simple. I still think it smells of something more. |

I read that the workers were all promised a raise over a year ago and it never came through. These sites have installed anti-jump nets all around their facilities because of problems with workers jumping out of windows and committing suicide. With the new chinese sperm extraction machine they should be able to breed replacements within about 4 years. LOL not!!! What a fucked up country. Oh wait. I live in America. |

High fences on the roofs,net stretched all around the building to catch workers that jump trying to kill themselves. Basically slave labor but who cares. They pay the price for big profits. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1313238 Obviously the people are now speaking. They will not put up with this type of treatment any longer. Good for them |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23940066 According to an exec speaking on the news,the only reason the Chinese have these jobs is because there are no unions or EPA to deal with. Corporations can't make huge profits if they can't pay slave wages and destroy the environment. |

The Chinese governments are the ones that set the rates and make the deals with the companies who set up there. Their own government is selling them out. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23940066 I thought that most folks on this site think that unions are the down fall of America and back the evil lazy Democrats. Nope the unions are good. If you were a teacher you would understand about unions. This is probably the only career that uses them as having a lawyer on your side. Go talk to a teacher who pays union dues and has almost lost their job but the unions stepped up and intervened and saved their job or got them a good financial settlement of $$$ Unions got you an 8 hour working day, vacation days and vacation time off as well as OSIA regulations as well as workmans comp so, if you cut your arm off at work , you can see a workman's comp doctor and get a cash settlement you need to understand what those in the past did for you the worker |
