| 888733 | 2010-05-28 03:50:00 | business.timesonline.co.uk The company has made hastily contrived efforts to improve conditions for its workers, the majority of whom stand in the same position for 12-hour shifts and receive the equivalent of about £90 each month in salary. Those measures include the use of “soothing” music on the factory floor, the recruitment of hundreds of dance instructors and the establishment of a suicide hotline. Terry Gou, the chairman of Foxconn, is fighting hard to persuade the world that he is “certainly not running a sweatshop”. Hours before the latest death he had been touring the factory assuring staff that he was doing everything possible to avert more suicides |

You don't often hear of mass suicides at the Asus factory. Agreed. Yesterday a person jumped from a building and killed herself. I don't mind that but she also killed a cleaner who was going about her job. |

| 888741 | 2010-05-29 06:11:00 | Facts are not so much fun: If the suicide rate at the Foxconn factory matched the Chinese national average, the size of the workforce there would imply around 45 deaths per year. The factory makes various items for Samsung, IBM and Sony as well as Apple. |
