Cheap labour! iPod City

China will continues to provide cheap labor for many MNC seeking low cost labour and high margin manufacturing.

Our Apple iPod is no exception from any capitalist manufacturing MNCs. Foxconn, a big time contract manufacturer for numerous companies likes Dell, Apple, IBM, HP, Nokia, Motorola and Microsoft Xbox. Almost all workers housed in a domitory and food is provided, why i knew because my friend working at Siemen provides services there.

Coming back to the topic, paying as little as USD78.25 a month, the production workers work long hours and get no appreciation at all. So if you think your job suck...u might wanna read more and think how to propel yourself.

Article about iPod City is here with pictures and narations.

Edit, Inquiry today [26 Jun] has added that Apple has acknowledged that Foxconn had violated the labor law of China by forcing the worker 36hrs extra a month.
