2000 people rioted today, at least 40 people were injured & thousands of police were called to quell the upsurge. This wasn’t on the High St but at Apple’s main manufacturing site, Foxconn, in China.
Whilst Apple disciples queued at Western Apple stores to purchase the latest iconic product workers on the other side of the world were embroiled in a mass brawl.
This isn’t the first time Foxconn has been involved in controversy – there was massive concern over a number of workers suicides allegedly related to the companies working conditions.
Companies need to chose their outsource partners with great care, the repercussions could be more than financial.
