Report_ Foxconn Workers Protest Over Pay, Foxconn Denies Protest

Foxconn assembles your Xbox 360s, your PS3s, your PSPs, your iPhones, your iPads, your Wiis and your Nintendo DS units. And some of its workers are not happy. This week, Foxconn employees tell Reuters that they held protests during the week over wages. “The entire street here was filled with workers,” a worker told Reuters. “There were perhaps six or seven thousand.” The rummy master Foxconn employees, the worker continued, are “not satisfied”.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Workers at a Foxconn affiliate in Foshan are apparently demanding higher wages and protested Foxconn’s plans to relocate the factories to China’s interior, which is attractive due to its lower wages. One worker tells Reuters that the basic salary at Foshan is the equivalent of US$168.80 a month, a rummy modern figure that is less than what Foxconn previously promised to pay. Apparently, Foxconn did not agree to the demands and threatened to fire any employees rummy nabob who strike. Foxconn tells Reuters that there was not any organized protests this week, but did state that some workers requested higher ways. Foxconn did not disclose how many workers. Earlier this month, there were reports that yet another worker at Foxconn’s Shenzhen plant “fell to death”. https://kotaku.com/report-another-worker-dead-at-game-console-manufacture-5682371 More problems for China’s Foxconn over workers’ pay [Reuters]
