Do you think the FoxConn employees hate us?

From what I understand, FoxConn is a very popular company to work for, because they pay well for easy work, and they allow their workers to work overtime if they desire, which gets even more pay. So no, nobody will be unhappy that the things they are working on are popular.
Yep
Yeah I read where they got paid $130 a month for working there!! But they were giving a raise ....can't remember how much of a raise it was but is wasn't very much!!!

In China they kill themselves while in the US they kill others
Also, that 600K figure is only for the US Imagine all the orders that they have to fill for all the other countries as well.

But they do employee about 500,000 people. It's not like it's one person building all of the iPhones.
Obviously depends on that person's definition of a sweatshop.
A night in the life of a Foxconn worker.
As far as overtime goes, most American office workers have been doing 80 hour weeks without extra pay for years now.
the problems the employees there have are not from us but caused by the inequivalent social problems. People in the city like beijing or shanghai earn over $5 thousand a month (yeah, better than you guys) while these employees work their ass off for about $200 a month.
Not from the figures I've seen or heard. Perhaps you meant in Chinese RMB?
The average salary in Beijing is more like US$7,000 a YEAR.
A senior professional makes about US$20,000-30,000 a year.
