Foxconn Admits Labor Law Violations
Sunday, June 25th, 2006 at 3:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
Foxconn, the China-based company that manufactures some iPods for Apple Computer, has admitted to violating some labor laws. The company was accused of working employees 15 hours a day for less than US$50 a month by London's Mail on Sunday. Now, the Inquirer is reporting that Foxconn has admitted to forcing employees to work about 80 extra hours each month.
Foxconn spokesperson, Li Zong, stated that although the company forced employees to work extra hours, it "paid the workers according to the minimum salary standards of the Shenzhen local government."
Initially, Foxconn denied any worker mistreatment. Apple has started its own investigation into the factory working conditions in response to the claims.
Representatives from Apple Computer were not available for comment.
