Photos of Chinese Sweatshop Used By Microsoft

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the only-buy-local-farm-raised-mice dept.

MongooseCN has a follow-up to last week's Chinese Sweatshop story. He says "The image Microsoft doesn't want you to see: Too tired to stay awake. These Chinese workers earn just 34p an hour (about 52 cents in US dollars), work 15-hour shifts, and deal with other abuses to package US-made products."
