Instructions:
Consider these facts:
• Foxconn is the largest private employer in China (with 1.4 million employees) and is the world’s largest outsourced manufacturer – it is, for example, the main supplier of electronic parts to Apple for its iPods and iPhones.
• In China, it costs Apple a few dollars to have an iPod assembled, which is then sold for $299 across world markets.
• Many of Foxconn’s workers have had work schedules that approach 100 hours per week though this is expected to change because of China recently passing a law limiting the work week to 49 hours. Many workers want to work at least 60 hours per week in order, they say, to support their families.
• Wages are very low (though they are expected to increase to compensate workers for a reduced work schedule), and workers live in large dormitories on factory campuses with few amenities and infrastructural problems (e.g., faulty electrical wiring, lack of running water); many of the workers are migrants from distant rural areas in China.
• Customers line up outside Apple stores in cities in the US, China, and elsewhere when a new Apple product is being launched for sale; indeed, in one Chinese city, Apple had to close one of its stores on the day of the release of the iPhone 5 in order to constrain the hordes of potential customers.
