Is that a Freudian slip?
The workers at FoxConn Apple assembly lines were hired voluntarily. . . and are paid as much as the equivalent of $780 to $1300 a month when overtime is included. When FoxConn announces there are openings on the Apple assembly lines THOUSANDS of applicants apply for the jobs. Where is this "slavery"?
The pay is almost ten times the Chinese minimum wage levels of $140 per month that a shop worker gets in the city stores. . .
China Labor Watch, an activist organization, has shown conditions at factories that are NOT FoxConn, claiming they are FoxConn. . . and Micharl Daisey was caught faking translations in interviews with FoxConn workers to have them say things they actually did not say in his "Agony and Ecstasy of Steve Jobs" on NPR and they actually had to pull his program and issue an apology. The so-called "suicide problem" turned out to be really blown out of proportion when it was shown that there were only 18 suicides out of over 750,000 workers across FoxConn's 22 plants. . . in an 18 month period! The suicide rate was 1/4 the rate of the Chines population in general and 1/8 the rate of the same age cohort of 18 to 28 in the Chinese Population! It is also 1/2 the rate of suicides among people of that age group in AMERICAN IVY LEAGUE COLLEGES! In other words, you are far less likely to kill yourself as a worker at FoxConn than as a student at Yale or Harvard!
LOL
Geezus.
I would think my post demonstrates a certain sarcasm, without having to pin “/s” everytime.
And it’s still wong, to have slaves whose name is Wei Phuk Up...
Kinda like displacing Mexican crop pickers with automation and machines.
They can always get a job as a disciple, driving their buddies to Home Depot
As everyone knows, they were all in one Accord (Honda)...
