Foxconn Is Pushing Into Retail

Chinese electronics manufacturer Foxconn, which builds products for Apple and many other electronics companies, came under some criticism last year after a spate of worker suicides. But according to a new article in Wired, working conditions in its plants are no worse than most factories in the developed world.
Reporter Joel Johnson toured Foxconn's huge factory in Shenzhen (with a public relations rep in tow) and concluded that workers face boring and repetitive work, but aren't forced to work long hours or suffer brutal conditions.
