Protesters plank outside Foxconn's shareholder meeting

A "conservative estimate for China’s suicide rate is 14 per 100,000 per year..." Foxconn's numbers are WAY below this... but Unions are always vying for higher wages and who could blame them? Everyone wants more money. Though, if it was really SO bad to work at Foxconn, you would see more people quitting and working other places. My guess, this is not happening and as such I can only assume that working conditions and wages are more than sufficient in the area.

As far as suicide being a valid issue, the protesters are CLUELESS!! A study showed that the suicide rate in the China's general population is TWICE that of the Foxconn factory!!! That means the employees are HAPPIER!! Duhhh!

Yeah, let's protest having a job and earning money...

apple have(could) never done anything wrong

And of course, it's all Apple's fault and not that of any other company that use Foxconn.

Um, how do you voice your dissatisfaction if you are lying face down on the ground? I know my mum used to tell me off for talking at my feet rather than at the person I was talking to so I'm sure face down in the dirt isn't going to be approved of.

Yes, this is totally missing the point but I confess this was the thing that jumped out at me. It's been a long day. Again.
