\"Foxconn<\/a>Three major clients of the Foxconn <\/strong>(Hon Hai Precision Industry<\/strong> Co., Ltd.) electronics manufacturing group are pressuring the company demanding a joint investigation effort regarding working conditions at Foxconn’s Chinese site.<\/div>\n
Apple Inc.’s spokeswoman Kristin Huguet said on Tuesday “We are saddened by the tragic loss of this young employee and we are awaiting results of the investigations into his death,” and added “We require our suppliers to treat all workers with dignity and respect.” Apple <\/strong>had sent a team to evaluate the working conditions at Foxconn’s Chinese <\/strong>facility, in the mean time HP <\/strong>and Dell <\/strong>too are evaluating and examining reports from Foxconn since they have outsourced production contracts too with this electronics manufacturing group.<\/div>\n
The questions which this “suicide cluster case” brings up against Foxconn is that, is Foxconn really running sweatshops? Are all Foxconn operations based on human misery? The inadecvat working conditions at Foxconn are a result of a corporate directive or is this just an isolated case which is present only in one particular manufacturing site of the Foxconn factory grid? Terry Gou, Chairman of Hon Hai tried to defend the manufacturing giant by stating that Foxconn does not operates human sweatshops but normal and legit businesses, how ever all the evidences point at the opposite.<\/div>\n
Also a question remains open. will Apple, Dell and HP move its operations to other manufacturing companies if it will be proven that this suicide cases are a result of some sort of company directive?<\/div>\n
In the case of Sun Danyoung, a worker of Foxconn who committed suicide because of the interrogation process that he was subjected to, an interrogation which was conducted because he lost the prototype of an iPhone, one could wonder did Apple pressure the interrogation? If yes, Apple may become the prime cause of this suicide case.<\/div>\n
