In Xhengzhou, Thousands Vie For Foxconn Jobs
hypnosec writes "Foxconn is supposedly looking to enhance its workforce in the Chinese city of Zhengzhou and despite the less-than-satisfactory working conditions in the company, thousands of aspirants are lining up for jobs in its factories. Not caring about the harsh working conditions at Foxconn, thousands of people congregated outside a labor office in Zhengzhou, the largest city of Henan province in North central China, impatiently waiting for a chance to work at Foxconn. Foxconn, which is engaged in assembling iPhones and iPads for Apple, is planning to hire an additional 100000 employees as it is aiming at augmenting its iPhone production."
"Less than satisfactory" according to white, paternalistic Americans who frequent Whole Foods.
Sorry to stereotype here, but let the Chinese figure out what is satisfactory or not.
And form trade unions, have their skulls cracked by the state enforcers, etc. It's all part of energing as an industrial nation.

Lemmings don't actually jump off cliffs (on their own). Really.
Anyways, you only need one Blocker and you're good to go. At least until you hit the nuke button - "Oh No!"
Misery loves company. Online misery loves unsuspecting random strangers.
According to Reuters, yo' mama so fat she uses an ipad to make phone calls.
"Have you ever thought about just turning off the TV, sitting down with your kids, and hitting them?"
Because Apple execs brag about Foxconn rousing servants from bed in the middle of the night, handing them a cup of tea and a biscuit, and forcing them to work a 12 hour shift?
Things happen, you know. People actually kill themselves in both USA and Europe.
Indeed. It's a shame that companies like Dell, HP, Asus, and HTC have to charge the same price for their "Made in the US" products that Apple charges for their Chinese-produced goods. /facepalm
If I wanted a sig I would have filled in that stupid box.
