The Zhengzhou plant was hit by a Covid outbreak in October...Foxconn later launched a massive recruitment drive, in which more than 100,000 people signed up to fill the advertised positions....workers were promised a 3,000 yuan bonus after 30 days on the job, with another 3,000 yuan to be paid after a total of 60 days.

after arriving at the plant, the new recruits were told by Foxconn that they would only receive the first bonus on March 15, and the second installment in May...
