I do not think many of you understand that those workers are very grateful and glad to have jobs at all! They earn more in a week than an average Chinese takes home in a month. Such is their life and circumstances - securing a position in this factory alone was a privilege.

So there is a place in China that employed 50,000 people, and the employees can work overtime. Nowhere in the article did the reporter say the overtime was forced. Instead the opposite was true. People were warned when they got close to the limit of overtime. I don't understand the problem. Sounds like a good company to work for. Are there other benefits? The guy that his family claimed died after working 12 hours a day needs to re-assess. There are people in the US and elsewhere who work 12 hours daily. Sounds like he may have had some sort of unknown medical problem.

"Other benefits"?.....other than what? Average wages are in the region of some $60....a month. So what other "benefits" did you have in mind? Doubtless you believe that this anti-capitalist, anti-progress, lying article also forgot to illustrate the state of the art hospital, state of the art school for children and the chauffeur driven service provided to all employees in their efforts to progress the cause of socialism yah da yah da yah da.

Trump will bring these jobs back from China once he wins the general election by lowering corporal taxes that keep the big companies away from the US. TRUMP 2016!!!

I doubt it unless people will be happy to pay treble the cost for an iPhone, unless Trump is going to lower wages and factory overheads as well as these corporate taxes you mention. You didn't think that through, did you?

You don't seriously believe that the price of an i-Phone is based on production costs do you. The last calculations made on that score showed that the overall costs to produce one was less than around $6. And that included transport to market. This is called "maximisation of profits" AKA - shifting as much into shareholders dividends and - more importantly - CEO and Directors "bonuses" and "compensation"

Nope, the cost of manufacture, transportation and warranty expenses is closer to $30 per unit. Either way, Apple is not going to sacrifice its profit margins to pay increased overheads in the US, is it? So it's a moot point.

None of them looks happy in their work but you have to admit that some good discipline like this would not go amiss in our factories (and schools). Standards and attitudes in this country are often abysmal and the examples set by politicians, celebrities and football players leave a lot to be desired..

You can't blame China or Foxxcon for consumer demand. Western society demands you own one of these overpriced toys, someone has to make them.

The DM are trying so very hard to make a story out of this......I see people with jobs in a clean factory manufacturing cutting edge technology. Whats the angle? That they line up for a roll call!? That their salaries are lower than the UK? There is no scandal here. There is no story behind a story. Pointless article from a newspaper that is rapidly losing credibility. At least I know that I am in the right place for hourly updates on the Kardashians.

It looks like a factory.. Probably more efficient than most, what do you expect? They are employees, not slaves. There are other jobs in China if they feel oppressed

Coming to the UK soon if you vote DC into power again , except Robots will be doing the work - why are I phones so expensive ?

MalcolmRitchieReply toouchagain
I-phones are expensive because pretentious tw.ats here in the West fell for the hype and manage to screw their own employees and others into the ground in order to divvy up for them. Most recent calculations for an i-phone showed their costs amounted to some $6. But then those in the "West" and the Empire of Blessed Memory have been doing pretty much the same for centuries now.

They are more or less controlling our world with their goods. What can you buy nowadays which is not made in China? Even big brands like Bosch have all their parts made there and then assembled in Germany.
