Foxconn will need extra time to get rid of staff overtime
Foxconn is reported that it will need more time to reduce the amount of overtime staff. Initially it was assumed that to get rid of such a company will be able to practice on July 1, but we now know that this period is unlikely to be sustained. The reason for this non-traditional Chinese-made activity is the company Apple, which is the main customer of Foxconn and bringing it from 60% to 70% profit. After a series of cases where not endure poor working conditions of Chinese-made processing commit suicide, and then staged a revolt at all, the representatives of the American company appealed to the Fair Labor Association (FLA), the purpose of the investigation and the normalization of the situation in the factories Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd, which includes plants and Foxconn. So far, representatives of the FLA report that Foxconn management was able to solve 98% of all problems with the systematic processing and the greater part of almost a million workers in these industries have already experienced the reduction of workload, an opportunity for better protection health, improve labor safety and the wider trade union activities. However, Foxconn has yet to solve the problem of compliance with the requirements of the work schedule of employees of Chinese law, which governs the work week of forty hours. Plus, no more than 9 hours of overtime. At the moment, the company can not name the exact date when these requirements are met. One of the reasons for the delay is the fact that the factories Foxconn operates many migrants from other parts of the country who are interested to earn the maximum amount possible in the shortest time to go back to the received money home to his family. These workers are not interested in reducing overtime hours, and some of them did leave the production, processing if canceled.
