Tragic Suicides by Employees at Foxconn Facility Shenzhen China
Do you own an Apple iPad or have you ever bought something from Sony, HP or Dell? If so you have probably acquired something made at Foxconn in Shenzhen China.
The enormous facility in the town of Shenzhen China employs 275,000 folks by some reports and 425,000 by others. Whatever the amount of workers is, the average reported pay is only about $130 per month… How would you feel working 10hr shifts on a fast paced, repeated production line for only 65 CENTS PER HOUR? Do you believe anybody in the west that BUYS the millions of products being made in China would actually WORK at one of those facilities?
Here’s the worst part about being at Foxconn; you moved there from a small farming community and have not left it before. You have never been away from your family farm, and now your family is far away and you can’t see or talk with them. You do not know anybody where you work and likely dont even start to know the people that you live withinternal the walled-in Foxconn compound. How long before you end up going mad?
The conditions of work in the big facility in Shenzhen are probably not very good. Foxconn makes billions of bucks in profits, and one worker when talking about the work conditions had this to say :
I really like to sometimes drop things so I can bend over and pick them up. Its like getting a break. Does that sound like a pleasant place to work to you?
I really feel sad to think about the problems they have, but at the same time I hope that they don’t produce the stuff that we use to take our minds off of daily life like a Guitar Hero Wii bundle. Foxconn does make many different electronics for different corporations so it’s probable if you’re shopping for buy new digital camera it could be made there as well.
Next time youre at the drive thru at McD, and they forgot your french fries again, ITS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD! Calm down, and put things into perspective. If a missing straw is the very worst thing thats going down in your life at this time, its really not that bad is it?
Hope you enjoy your iPhone.
