Why don't they just chain the workers to their working stations? Their spirits would be totally crushed and they'd be more focused.
With the installment of nets hope still remains. I mean nets might fail from time to time and prehaps not hold up if the workers attempt mass suicide or whatnot.

apparantly they are also making 100 000 apprentices do an internship there.
Either accept or you won't pass.

IT'S JUST LIKE IN THE HAPPENING EXCEPT WITHOUT THE GLOBAL WARMING PROPAGANDA

First part of this :p

wtf hahaha

Stephen Colbert is the best :p

Madness, the average suicide rate is higher in general China than at Foxconn

this is what i came here to say. have a plus

what are you trying so say... that it doesn't matter because people kill themselves for all kind of reasons?

we should probably buy more cheap t-shirts instead of gadgets, cause there are no news about suicides in textile factories!

china = a huge damn country controlled by communists
foxconn = a company

...

It's roughly 4/4.2 foxconn/china

However, an important bit of information is often ignored, because this bit of information kind of takes all the sting out of this juicy story: the total amount of workers at Foxconn. This massive company has an even more massive amount of workers: 486000 employees (although AP states 300000, and The New York Times says 420000). That would be 3% of the Dutch population.

This number is so immense it will fly over most people's heads, but it's a very important figure, because if you compare the number of suicides among Foxconn's 486000 employees to the Chinese average, you'll see that Foxconn is still well below said average. In China, 14 out of 100000 people commit suicide every year. This means that to match China's average, 68 Foxconn employees would have to commit suicide every year.

The numbers above were using the employee count from 2009 on Wikipedia (485,999)
