ABC Nightline Previews Unprecented Look Inside Foxconn [Video]

Posted February 20, 2012 at 4:29pm by iClarified
ABC has posted an introductory report and video to their special edition of Nightline, 'iFactory: Inside Apple' which airs tomorrow.

Over three days in two cities, "Nightline" spoke with dozens of Foxconn workers, both on and off the factory campuses, both on and off the record. We were encouraged to enter any dorm at any time to gather as much insight as any strange Americans with cameras can. All the while, I kept imagining my own reaction if a Chinese TV crew burst into my home or office and started asking me how much I like my job.

But while we looked hard for the kind of underage and maimed workers we've read so much about, but we mostly found people who face their days through soul-crushing boredom and deep fatigue. Some complained of being overworked, others complained of being underworked and almost all said they were underpaid. And when I asked "what would you change?" we heard the kind of complaints you might hear in any factory anywhere.
