“Foxconn Electronics, a factory located in China that supplies $20.7 billion worth of products annually to Apple, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Intel and Sony, and other top name brands, has come under criticism for alleged labor violations. According to British newspaper the Mail on Sunday, labor rights violations at Foxconn Electronics include the following:
- Wages below the legal minimum, with workers reportedly earning $50 a month
- Routine work shifts of 15 hours
- Poor and unsafe working conditions
- Inadequate dormitories
China Labor Bulletin research director Robin Munro stated, “They’re not sharing proportionally in the benefits and profits in this huge globalization effort…. The only reason they can survive in these cities is because all they do is work.” Foxconn states that there are huge discrepancies between the truth and allegations cited in the report.”
