How many suicides would it take before Foxconn is out of business? 1, 10, 1000, .... ? . People already know of dozens or so suicides that have taken place in Foxconn. If people kept on buying stuff regardless, what difference would more suicides make?
Call me cynical, but everyone loves cheap products much more than far removed suicides of random people half way across the globe.
- bmelton 15y agoCall me cynical as well, but I can't help but think of how many people competing for those jobs see the suicides as job openings. Simply, the working conditions might be extra bad at FoxConn, but they're bad everywhere else in the general area. The wealth of cheap workers who are willing to work in horrible conditions for pay is still great, and it would take a LOT more suicides than Foxconn has employees for that situation to change for the better. I think.
