iPhone, iPad, youDie
Last year, a wave of suicides among Foxconn workers caused a scandal - before being buried under tons of sand and silence. In plants this Chinese multinational assembled iPad, iPhone and iPod. In reality, the dead began before, in 2007, and continued thereafter (the last suicide some dating back to May ; another worker died in July under suspicious circumstances). In total, twenty employees were killed. Investigations from various sources indicated among the likely causes the infernal work rates, the lack of human relationships within the plant and psychological pressure from management. Sometimes, it even went far beyond psychological pressure : the 26 July 2009, an employee of 25 year called Sun Danyong, jumped into the void after suffering a beating by company thugs team. Sun was suspected of having stolen or lost a prototype iPhone. What solutions adopted Foxconn to prevent such tragedies ? well, the factory has installed such "anti-suicide nets".
These scenes of the Apple world do not attract much attention, compared to the death of Steve Jobs muddy or pseudo-events such as the opening, in the central via Rizzoli Bologna, the largest Apple Store Italian. On this occasion, people spent the night in the street in order to enter the temple. Those know not the work marriage and dead upstream of the brand they worship. In capitalism, put the greatest possible distance between "upstream" and "downstream" is the quintessential ideological operation.
Nickel.
It is this kind of typical hazardous brand marketing that tries Cool (and succeeded) to forget the ground realities, usually with a cynical casualness argument, like Nike, Stbx, all these brands people say “it is on it is a product of capitalism, but it's so cool and well thought”, even-and especially- People who claim to alter or démondialisme. Sadly!

They find the solution to this problem inhuman!
They will replace workers with robots, Foxconn thank you for this initiative to save lives….
By about 5 years, they will put more than one million machine running, so more problem of suicide. We will finally be able to buy Apple products without remorse!!!
With automation there are fewer employees, but it does not solve the problem of working conditions, Of all manner, technical trial of labor in China in large companies such as FOXCONN're not so archaic that you seem to think: there is already not bad automation.
