In the manafucturing world in China, Foxconn has been known for their quality and efficiency in parts for many of our much popular electronic gadgets. They make products for Apple, LG, and many other manufactures. In the last few months, many of their employees have committed suicide. Foxconn has been mistreating their employees. They are usually around the age of early 20's. This has been going on for years but no one has ever done anything to fix the issue. Last year, an employee misplaced an Apple iPhone prototype and ended up committing sucicide because of the verbal harassments to this employee. Foxconn knew this was getting out of hand, so they started to place nets outside their office so people cannot jump off the building. This shows that in China, there are no labor laws and shows the companies can mistreat their employees, which can lead to very bad publicity and ending the lives of many people.
