It's been posted many, many times on DU, and featured in several articles, that Foxconn makes most of the electronics for most of America's major brands. Yet YOU said the story was important because it was people "at the Apple plant" that were committing suicide. That simply isn't the case. Why perpetuate the bullshit when you yourself admit it isn't true...this is NOT an "Apple plant." It is a vendor who manufactures product for Apple, among MANY others.

How many of those companies are addressing this, as Apple is? Atman Jan 2012 #2

That's because most of the suicides are at Apple plants. HopeHoops Jan 2012 #4

Okay, are you paying attention at all? Atman Jan 2012 #5

True, but Foxconn has somehow become associated primarily with Apple. HopeHoops Jan 2012 #6

But YOU just made that association! Atman Jan 2012 #7

Okay, fair call. But Foxconn did put up nets to catch the slave labor trying to escape life. HopeHoops Jan 2012 #8
