Chinese workers are killing themselves in droves because the working conditions to build Iphones are so bad. 30 Suicides attempts in the last 3 weeks. Their solution.... "The desperate company has even brought in a Buddhist monk to try and rid the factories of "evil spirits."

Apples secrecy is driving slave labors to their death. Anything to save a buck.

"Foxconn, the company that manufactures the iPhone for Apple, is said to have subjected employee Sun Danyong to "unbearable interrogation techniques," leading him to commit suicide. He was under investigation for losing a prototype device."

"Foxconn's Central Security Division had been incredibly severe, subjecting him to intense interrogations, harassment, and even "laying hands" on the worker."

Sun jumped from a 12-story building. Labor protections in China are minimal,

The company has been dogged by allegations of poor working conditions over the years

Because these practices are allowed in China is why millions of Americans sit home unemployed. This would never be allowed in America. Not a problem for companies like Apple. Lay off all the Americans and move to China. Save money. Beat your employees senseless. It is all good for corporate America.

Enjoy your iphones.
