They where (forced)working them 16hours a day, with really low pay.

They had to install those suicide nets to catch people jumping off roofs, because of how unhappy they where working there.

If they treat the worker that bad, and it still pays off to not use them... theres no hope for the avg joe worker.

 

"Economists have issued dire warnings about how automation will affect the job market, with one report, from consultants Deloitte in partnership with Oxford University, suggesting that 35% of jobs were at risk over the next 20 years."

World economies will collapse due to this stuff.

And it's not like Foxconn or Apple weren't making enough money. Funny thing is that Foxconn is a Taiwanese company. Chinese companies like Oppo have better pay and better means in their factories.

Fuck Apple. Overpriced shitty products that I'll never buy again. Even if they didn't go to robots, I'd still hate them.

 

$1000 for a 1.3 GHz computer? Hah, good one. Love to see the justification for this from apple fanboys

 

Edit: I am interested to see what Apple does in response to this. They'll probably just hide this though, act like their workers are treated perfectly
