Child Labor made your I-Phone

Foxconn says underage workers used in China plant
TAIPEI (Reuters) - Foxconn Technology Group, the world's largest contract electronics maker, has acknowledged hiring teenagers as young as 14 in a Chinese factory, in breach of national law, in a case that raises further questions over its student intern program.

Labor rights activists in China have accused Foxconn and other big employers in China of using student interns as a cheap source of labor for production lines where it is more difficult to attract young adult workers to lower paid jobs.

Foxconn, the trading name of Taiwan's Hon Hai Precision Industry, said it had found some interns at a plant in Yantai, in northeastern Shandong province, were under the legal working age of 16. It did not say how many were underage.

Thanks Grady. I don't own an I phone. But wouldn't be surprised if all the cell phones come from sweat shops with young kids.

Isn't it great that American labor was instrumental in getting rid of child labor in the U.S.?

Except they missed you.

Oh, did you learn that comeback in 5th grade?

Nah, I've been reading yours and shoeshiner's posts and learned how to respond accordingly.

Thanks for slamming the dead. Classy as always.

Almost any electronic device made in China uses child labor. Macs, PCs, phones - total assemblies or the components within them.

Before you get your knickers in a twist I think akilina was meaning "soulshiner". Shoeshine boy never registered or posted here.

In any case I'm emulating Blazer Bub and others posting style.. I guess what goes around comes around.
