From here:
Hundreds of Foxconn employees living in a dormitory at the company’s plant in Chengdu in southwestern China clashed with security staff on Monday evening, reportedly taking advantage of a minor disturbance to address prior grievances.
The world’s largest electronic contract manufacturer called in the police to calm down the crowd and dozens of those who took part in the disturbance were arrested, according to Molihua, a news website advocating democracy and human rights in China.
The clash broke out at a male dormitory for Foxconn workers in Kaoxinxi district in northwest Chengdu. When two security guards called out to stop a thief, some employees with grudges against the security officers took the chance to hinder them and forced them away.
The situation quickly escalated out of control with up to one thousand workers joining the fray, throwing trash bins, chairs, pots, bottles and fireworks from the upper floors of the bulding to the ground and destroying public facilities.
I had concluded that the PR people had cleaned up this mess. The NPR dude lied about certain things in his Foxconn story, so that meant he was a liar and it wasn’t true and there are no problems even though Foxconn management conducts seminars with zookeeper guests as they refer to their employees as ‘animals’.
Since there are no labor issues at Foxconn that means anybody who rioted has a mental illness or is a bad communist.
Keep buyin’ those iPads everybody and stay classy and ignorant!!!
