It's no surprise that Foxconn, the Chinese manufacturing plant infamously known for its harsh working conditions, recently came under fire when it was inspected by the Fair Labor Association (FLA). The FLA discovered that Foxconn violated at least 43 Chinese laws and regulations and various industry codes of conduct by having its employees work over 60 hours a week and sometimes more than 11 days in a row. The results of the FLA inspection were based on a survey of over 35,000 Foxconn employees - with 43% of them having witnessed or experienced accidents, and almost 66% saying their compensation didn't meet their basic needs.
