As always, don’t just read the title.
> told the SCMP that FIH employees are often paid higher but that the group that makes iPhones "typically offers better welfare programmes for workers than others," suggesting better benefits.
- pcurve 3y agoAbout $3.60 per hour vs 2.89. Almost 25% more, so a good deal more.
- nomel 3y agoWhat are the welfare programs worth? What value do the employees see them as having? We’re forced to speculate about the only things that actually matters, to make a fair comparison. I expect better from Tom’s Hardware.
- netsharc 3y agoThat reads very grim... if I could speculate, the welfare programmes are probably what's Apple mandating from their suppliers, so "if you want to earn more, give up on some 'comforts'.". Maybe things like better break hours, vacation, some sort of counselling (they did have a lot of workers retiring by jumping out the window a few years ago...).
