Sweat Shop

Steve Jobs insists the Foxconn factory is not a sweatshop.

"compared with other factories, the Foxconn facility's conditions were "pretty nice." So nice the employees can't wait to throw themselves off the roof.

So is Steve right that it is not a sweatshop. Well lets check.

sweat·shop
–noun

a shop employing workers at low wages (yes), for long hours (yes), and under poor conditions (yes).

From everything I have read I disagree with Mr. Jobs. By definition it is a sweatshop. Steve should be pressed for a better explanation as to why people making his products would rather kill themselves then make one more Iphone.
