>		Foxconn has promised to give high raises to all its workers in China. At the Longhua plant where the deaths occurred, the raises will go up to over 100% by October 2010. Details here: http://focustaiwan.tw/ShowNews/WebNews_Detail.aspx?ID=201006080018&Type=aECO. This is a great result money-wise. I hope this change will also mean fewer hours for workers because they won't need to do as much overtime to get by. After all, man does not live by bread alone -- he also needs to sleep some. The above photos are of a protest at the Apple Store in New York on June 7 and of a similar protest at another Apple Store in Hong Kong on June 8. The gentleman to the left of the flowers in the New York photo is Li Qiang, a survivor of Tiananmen Square and director of China Labor Watch.
