labor - The 'trainees' at Foxconn

Bingfeng Teahouse continues to translate comments , now already 9,588 in total, he estimates. Not always clear whether the comments relate to the Shenzhen or Kunshan facility or both.

when CCPBG BU was established 2005 and new business dept hired another 10 k employees to produce PSP, the ordinary workers hired from hubei and henan are paid 200 RMB per month (God curse me to death if i lie about this). foxconn said they are only trainees, but actually these "trainees" did the same amount of work as the long standing workers everyday, that is, 12 hours a day......foxconn leased a "dorm" called "dong-yi" to pack 300 workers into one room. you have to get up 5 am to wash and brush, otherwise you will miss the bus and it a 48-minute walk from dorm to the factory. i see many new workers bring their washcloth because they told me that dorm stop supplying water again, they haven't taken bath for three days.
