Foxconn Workers Sign ‘No Suicide’ Pledge - Digital Trends
This is the company Apple gets a lot of it's hardware from. And you know, there's so many people out there who say corporations go over seas because of cheap labor. I think it's that and the fact that worker regulation is so lax over there which creates really crappy working environments. How many corporate buildings in the US have to put nets in between them so that their workers won't jump off of them to kill themselves? And I've never heard of a US worker having to sign a No Suicide pledge.

"Any health care funding plan that is just, equitable, civilized and humane must - must - redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and the less fortunate. Excellent healthcare is by definition re-distributional."

Before I heard about this, I wanted an I Pad. Not any more.
Yeah I don't blame you there. I couldn't imagine working in the conditions the workers at Foxconn do.
They are working 100+ hours of overtime. After Months of that, I think a lot of people would be suicidal.
If not dead. I didn't realize that was how much overtime they had to work. That's insane.
