Foxconn Ditches Suicide Compensation, Looks To Relocation

Published on January 01, 0001 by Chef Mia

This year, Foxconn’s Shenzhen factory has been hit with a rash of suicides. The company has

taken measures to prevent jumpers. Now, it looks set to take the greatest preventive measure of all. It is u31 เข้าสู่ระบบ revoking the payout it had been offering to families of the deceased. This year, there have been 12 attempted suicides and ten deaths at Foxconn’s Shenzhen complex. Foxconn manufactures the Xbox 360, the PS3, the Wii, the iPhone and the iPad, among many other devices. Until

now, ทางเข้า winner55 ผ่านโทรศัพท์ มือ ถือ the Taiwanese based company has offered

families of the deceased the equivalent of a decade’s worth of pay (a little over US$16,000). This apparently was a motivating winner55 ทางเข้า สล็อต factor for some of the suicides. This will no longer be offered — which could be a good thing or a bad thing. The compensation was obliquely cited in a letter left by one of the jumpers. Foxconn previously offered workers at its Shenzen factory the chance at a 66 percent raise or $292 a month. That 66 percent raise is performance based; however, all employees at the Shenzhen factory have been given raise from $130 a month to $175 a month. https://kotaku.com/foxconn-workers-offered-66-percent-raise-5557012 Thus, the financial forecast has worsened for the company, and Foxconn is now looking into relocating manufacturing to a full automated plant in either Vietnam or Taiwan.

Also, more orders will shifted to the existing Vietnamese plant — a plant which has not been given dramatic raises in base salary. 富士康欲转部分深圳业务至台湾或越南 and 郭台铭宣布富士康已停止发放所有死亡抚恤金(图) [网易新闻中心 and _台海_环球网 via Engadget via Gizmodo] https://gizmodo.com/foxconn-scrapping-suicide-compensation-to-stop-deaths-5558920
