The world’s largest iPhone factory, run by Foxconn Technology Group in the central Chinese city of Zhengzhou, has imposed tough Covid-19 control policies, such as closing its dine-in canteen, to keep production running normally amid a fresh outbreak that has put part of the city under lockdown. Foxconn’s Zhengzhou campus, which has about 300,000 workers, has banned all eating in and asked workers to take their meals back to their dormitories starting from 3pm on Wednesday, according to a notice on the factory’s official WeChat account. The company will provide three meals to the workers for free, and some departments, such as the integrated Digital Product Business Group – the division directly responsible for Apple iPhone assembly – have also been offered transport subsidies to get back to dorms. These workers have also been offered an additional 50 yuan per day bonus for reporting to work on time amid the new restrictions.

” asked workers to take their meals back to their dormitories “

Dormitories?
Is this a factory or a prison with a nicer name?
