Is the problem really one of salary when it comes to the suicide nets?
Are the workers driven to suicide for the low pay, or is this actually a matter of horrifyingly bad working conditions?
I upvoted this post from my name brand flagship phone.
Traditional Slavery is cheaper than paying a wage, so is modern slavery
Time off is included in the living wage part -.- can’t believe that needs to be said. These fucktards don’t know how to maximize their wealth extraction. Motivated laborers will labor harder.
If you install nets just below rooftop edges to catch jumpers… What stops them jumping down to the net, then jumping from the net?
From what I’ve seen they kind of fall down into the net and it sinks, so it’s pretty hard to climb up and over the edge. But I guess it’s possible.
We can just go ahead and put “society” at the bottom.
I might pick the evil route if I can Vince McMahon walk it, looking super smug, while “I AM GENIUS” blasts real loud. Seems like the cool thing to do.
Living Wage?
How about Animal Cage?
What are the wages they are paid? I would be surprised if the assembly line workers were getting a lower than average wage for the country the factory resided in.
Slave labour doesn’t require u pay a wage. That’s why the CCP does it.
I hate the ccp as much as the next guy but these workers are being paid and given benefits. Its not slavery. It doesn’t help to make false statements like this. If you want to attack foxcon there is plenty of actual points.
For example you could bring up the fair labor report that happened after this controversy and examined 3 foxcon factories in China and found that while workers starting wage was above minimum wage and most of the workers were far above minimum wage majority of the employees still said their salaries were not satisfactory to cover their needs.
Also foxcon addressed the concerns of that report after the investigation was concluded. Including improving health and safety, worker pay, hours worked and benefits.
Its far from slavery but its not denmark working conditions. However if I was Chinese I wouldnt say its a bad job. Lots of hours and decent wage + option of living on premises is good. The suicides definitely are not related to working conditions or we would see at least 5x more per year.
