Foxconn has offered to pay newly recruited workers 10,000 yuan ($1,400) to quit and leave the world’s largest iPhone assembly factory, in an attempt to quell protests that saw hundreds clash with security forces at the compound in central China.
The Apple supplier made the offer Wednesday following dramatic scenes of violent protests on its campus in Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan province, in a text message sent from its human resources department to workers.
In the message, seen by CNN, the company urged workers to “please return to your dormitories” on the campus. It also promised to pay them 8.000 yuan if they agreed to quit Foxconn, and another 2,000 yuan after they board buses to leave the sprawling site altogether.
The protest erupted on Tuesday night over the terms of the new hires’ payment packages and Covid-related concerns about their living conditions. Scenes turned increasingly violent on Wednesday as workers clashed with a large number of security forces, including SWAT team officers.
Videos circulating on social media showed groups of law enforcement officers clad in hazmat suits kicking and hitting protesters with batons and metal rods. Some workers were seen tearing down fences, throwing bottles and barriers at officers and smashing and overturning police vehicles.

Then as soon as they’ve exited the building, the government will seize their bank accounts.
Just like Canada and Brazil.
Morons.
They CANT leave
Its communist China.
They do walls there.
Plenty more just like them in rural China who will be thrilled to have the job,’live in the forms, do whatever they’re told and not make a fuss.
China is getting crazy. More than usual.
Xi does not have “mandate of heaven”.
No one does.

Did they also offer free showers after the bus ride?🤔

True.🤔
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...
Damn. Complete BS in Foxconn’s statements. Who do they think they are? Dems?!
Why haven’t robotics replaced the workers?
