Foxconn reports three possible suicides at factories in China

Three workers at Foxconn [part of Hon Hai] factories in China have fallen to their deaths in recent weeks and police are investigating, according to the company…But Foxconn said the two deaths in Zhengzhou were unrelated to work matters…China Labor Watch also reported that a fourth worker had jumped to his death…near the company's Zhengzhou campus. Foxconn, however, said the employee was in fact a…man who had only applied for a job with Foxconn, but never worked at the factory…[I]n 2010, a string of worker suicides at the company's facilities sparked criticism of Foxconn's labor practices…[Foxconn] is also taking steps to cut down worker's overtime as a way to improve working conditions…The new policies, however, may be causing more stress…"Cutting down overtime doesn't mean the work load is any less," the worker said. "In the past, we worked 10 hours. But now we have to finish the same amount of work in eight." [also refers to Apple, HP, Microsoft]
