Foxconn re-opens factory following worker riot

Gods, there was a riot and they're reporting on whether they expect production to be impacted or not. And I can't help but read:

"If we lose just one day, I don't expect it will impact any finished goods significantly and with overtime we could make up any shortfall."

I will not buy foxconn products. they do not give a hell about their workforce or their consumers, in my view.

So after the riots over and all 2000 workers went home to bed, they woke up forgetting the whole thing, no hard feelings and went back to work? I'm sure that morale is off the chart and they will be more than happy to "make up any shortfalls". Makes me smile thinking that there is some disgruntled foxxconn employee rubbin his balls all over someones new shiny iwhatever.

It's a good thing Apple bought out Foxconn a few months ago.

You might want to think about stopping ALL of your purchases then.

At least this time it isn't multiple suicides which they have had problems with in the past.

This is starting to sound terribly close to the riots & striking that they had with the coal mines here in the United States many years ago. I mean it was literally open cases of marching people down the street to the cemetery after they exited the mine & shooting them.

I can't help but wonder when these outbreaks hit this kind of escalation.
