Foxconn Employees Forced To Sign ‘No Suicide’ Pledge: Report | Epicenter | Wired.com

 

The iProblem:

Labor laws in China dictate that overtime should not exceed 36 hours per month. The report says that workers are usually subjected to 50 to 80 hours of overtime a month. In the Chengdu facility — where Foxconn employees put together the iPad — staff could expect a grueling 80 to 100 hours of overtime, on top of the 174 regular work hours.

Good to blog about, especially while using an iPad.
