What is not the truth? That head line for your linked article from Great Britain is "Inside Apple's Chinese 'sweatshop' factory where workers are paid just £1.12 per hour to produce iPhones and iPads for the West"
The cost of living in China has to be considered in the figure. Chinese cost of living is somewhere about 10 times lower than the cost of living in the United States. Just printing the hourly wage, which is the starting wage for a new hire, tells one absolutely NOTHING as a comparison between economies. Converting that British currency to American is $1.77. However that is NOT reflective of the Apple assembly lines, where the workers get two times that amount as starting wages ($3.55 per hour) and average even more, per the Apple contracts. The highest wages are seven times the Chinese national minimum wage. That also does not count overtime which workers can opt to work up to 36 hours per month. . . and have been complaining they are not allow more.
As for your FLEXTRONICS article, that was one of the companies that Apple pulled their contract from for violation of their worker requirements.
One question. Can every Foxconn worker walk away at the end of the shift free and clear without the company trying to collect owed monies from them? The answer is no.
Riots, suicides and work stoppages - must be a GREAT place to work!
According to you, chinese slave-labor workers assembling iProducts earn the equivalent of up to $52/hour. I bet that's more than what you make. Maybe you should get a job in a chinese workhouse assembling apple stuff and rake in the dough.
