‘Mass suicide’ protest at Apple manufacturer Foxconn factory
“We were put to work without any training, and paid piecemeal,” said one of the protesting workers, who asked not to be named. “The assembly line ran very fast and after just one morning we all had blisters and the skin on our hand was black. The factory was also really choked with dust and no one could bear it,” he said.
putting “apple” in the headline is literally a form of clickbait and dilutes the issue here are the companies that use foxconn factories:
This is awful and indefensible and I’m not defending apple, I’m saying that the message shouldn’t be “look how evil apple is” but “modern means of mass production for ALL large scale companies are all exploitative and literally kill people” putting the blame on a single company masks the systemic nature of the problem
