"To address its worker’s suicidal thoughts and actions, Foxconn has begun offering a 24-hour hotline. Mental health counseling is also provided to workers who need it. These offerings only popped up years after complaints and recommendations were made.”

Look idiot, those claims of action being taken only "years later" are completely false and have been debunked numerous times.

This has been addressed more than ten times on Freerepublic and I'm not going to do it again for your benefit at the end of a long thread. Those posts debunking this included links with proofs.

The facts are that there were during an 18 month period centered around 2010, there were 18 suicides among FoxConn's 27 manufacturing plants, employing, during those 18 months between 650,000 and 750,000 employees.

One single plant, during a period of eight months had 6 of those suicides. That plant manufactured Microsoft Xboxes, HP Computers, Sony Playstations, and Nokia flip phones. That plant was located 150 miles away from the nearest plant manufacturing or assembling any Apple products. These are well documented facts.

About 15 months before that cluster of suicides, in late 2008, a mid-level engineer in FoxConn was arrested and questioned by the Chinese police about the theft of a manufacturing prototype of the next model iPhone, after being questioned for ten hours, he was released. He went home to his fifth floor apartment and jumped to his death. That is the only known suicide associated with Apple products at FoxConn. . . and it is not connected in any way with working conditions but rather with a crime.

I heard he was also beaten, tortured, etc. Seems like the chinese communist police work for Apple.

He went home to his fifth floor apartment and jumped to his death. That is the only known suicide

Lol. "Suicide". It's far more likely that someone (guess where?) gave the the order to off this guy. He was pushed out of a window, the same fate as many other troublesome employees.
