A dollar an hour and 11 hour shifts? Well at least now we know what it takes to compete.

And it isn't true. That's the prevailing factory wage in China, but workers on Apple assembly lines get $2.80 an hour and cannot work more than ten hours. . . including overtime. They are also limited in overtime. . . which they were quite upset about. The workers want to work overtime.

A shift of workers threatened mass suicide when they learned their overtime was going to be limited to twenty hours a month!
