Workers Protest At Foxconn Plant in China

Foxconn workers threatened to jump off a building again. The company declined to say how many workers were involved in this latest dispute, but a spokesman did say no one actually jumped this time. Workers at a Chinese factory owned by Foxconn, Apple Inc's main manufacturer, threatened to jump off the roof of a building in a protest over wages just a month after the two firms announced a landmark agreement on improving working conditions. The protest happened in the central city of Wuhan at one of Foxconn's plants. The company employ some 1.2 million workers in China assembling iPhones and iPads, among other products.
