This is an inflammatory video purporting to show wretched working conditions at an iPad-producing Foxconn factory in China.
There’s just one thing I want to touch on: the clocking in and out process.
The video shows hundreds of people jammed around one scanner for clocking in and out?
That’s outrageous.
I’m sure Foxconn has statisticians who can project how much labor is required to produce X number of iPads.
Get those damn statheads working on how many scanners are required so everyone can be clocked out within one minute after their shifts are over.
I don’t give a damn if you need fifty or a hundred scanners.
Do it, you bastards.
You don’t steal time from their lives like that.
