How many of you would like to work in dormitories at your employer, be called up to start a 12 hour shift within a moment's notice be given nothing but one biscuit and a cup of tea to last you through that shift? Maybe you'll do it for your own startup, but I don't think any of you would do it for an employer.
The reason why Apple manufactures in China is because workers have no rights -- and with that comes unmatched labor flexibility and rock bottom prices too.
It's not US competitiveness that is the issue here -- it's China's lack of human rights.
- teyc 15y agoI've worked on a remote mine site in Australia before. Single workers are housed in dorms built by the employers. These have cooks and cleaners. We have regular hours, but if there were to be some urgent work, we would be expected to get our act together and get things done. (The only point of difference is we get paid overtime).
