Here's How Foxconn Looks on the Inside (Video)

[Valentin N]

In a special “Nightline” edition yesterday, American television network ABC offered the first ever glimpse inside Foxconn factories, particularly those that handle assembly of the Apple iPhone and iPad.

I must say that it's very sad to know that the workers condition is so bad. I am happy that I don't support such action; I have never bought anything from able besides an ipod shuffle, and I never will buy anything from there.

I don't know how much they win for each unit sold.

Such thing is not much better than slavery that was before 14-16th century.

I'm sure there are factories out there with similar or even worse conditions that we have bought products from. An interesting insight none the less.

It's true that there are worse but I find it very sad, when we teach and tell our children that people are equal when action speaks for opposite. Why are people so greedy after money? I know it's nice to have but that's far from everything.

Sometime I really wish that we would remain at the same level as apes; then we would be one with nature and things would turn out to how it is where we give ourself higher status the others animals and also among ourselves.

There are worse, but this is still very much a sad state! Society has known no bounds or limits within the world of greed! Suicide nets? How much money does it take for one to disown their conscious?

“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed”
~Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948)

 

[Ramblin]

Working conditions in most factories in China are worst than what this video shows. We (buyers) demand lower prices, companies respond by producing products where labor is cheaper. We, society as a whole, are as responsible as the companies that go to China.

FYI, Dell and HP also Foxconn for manufacturing, which is highlighted in an article I read:
