My cell phone contract is due for renewal and I was looking forward to getting an Apple iPhone. However, after reading The New York Times articles about the horrible conditions of the workers in the Chinese Foxconn factories that produce Apple’s iPhones, I am hesitant to buy one.
As The NY Times article informs us, workers are paid $17 per day and work 12-hour shifts, six days a week. To make a new iPhone screen, 8,000 workers were roused at midnight and given a biscuit and a cup of tea before starting marathon 12-hour shifts.
