Foxconn: Good or Bad..


Foxconn is a very well know business around the world. Its job is to help assemble products that are in high demand. These things include the Apple.inc products, such as the iPad, the iPhone, the iPod touch, and all other apple products. This company is well known for beautifully completing the job of assembling or putting together these devices. These devices are being built by hand. People don’t stop to think and wonder who is assembling these devices. The workers of Foxconn are pushed and forced to work hard. Workers work twelve hour shifts seven days a week. Their living conditions aren’t that great either. Workers of Foxconn have been worked so hard that they would commit suicide by jumping off of the buildings. How did Foxconn solve the problem? They made the workers sign a piece of paper promising they will not commit suicide. They also placed nets around the top of the buildings. Foxconn has also been thought to be employing children as young as twelve years old. Child labor is NOT ok. Apple knows about these issues. Why don’t they do something about it? Is Foxconn a good company or a bad one?
