The 12th Jump Happened, Another Foxconn Employee Death

According to Xinhua news report, another Foxconn employee has committed suicide last night. This latest death comes just hours after Foxconn held a huge conference meeting with the press to clarify the suicide tragedy. Take a note on what Foxconn CEO said yesterday, “I cannot guarantee that similar deaths will not happen again, but we are doing our utmost to look after and care more for our staff“. So 12 suicide attempts, 10 deaths, we have enough for this. The news on this whole insane incident has over-boiled. Are we getting some sort of suicide count-down for the new iPhone announcement next month ? Or curse !?

    I think we can imagine the story behind your iphone or ipad. how many people is dead or under high pressure and inhumanity to make you a device. Corporates have neither bodies to be punished nor souls to be damned.

    when they were alive, they were not treated as human being but machine,
    now they are dead, you're pretending to treat them as human beings? what s the use for that? bunch of phonies.

    stop buying goods from china. “YOU” as the consumer is the main driving force of these tragedies. Just pay twice the price for getting the same goods made in USA. but of course you won't fuxxing do that
