This looks highly unusual. Isn't Foxconn interest to keep their workers happy ? I'm not even sure how is Apple justifying this given those workers aren't Apple employees.
So, basically, Foxconn increased the price of their service but included an item in the contract where the difference goes directly to the employees ? Nice way for Foxconn to maintain their margin and make their workers happier. What did Foxconn do ?
Either way, it looks very strange. Apple could have handled this in many ways (for example, what about buying part of Foxconn). But it looks like the media won and Apple is paying to cover up the PR mess. I don't believe Foxconn only has Apple as a customer but somehow all the media was against Apple. And since Apple has the cash now, they just paid up.
Let's see how will the workers not working on Apple products feel when their colleagues get more money.
