Foxconn China rattled by another strike: Rights group
Zeebiz Bureau
Honk Kong: A strike involving 1,000 workers
erupted at a plant linked to Foxconn Technology Group on Saturday, a
rights group claims.
A rights group based in Hong Kong called
Students and Scholars Against Corporate Misbehaviour (SACOM) stated that
a Foxconn factory in Fengcheng, Jiangxi province went on strike. While
the Taiwanese tech giant denies ownership of the plant sources in SACOM
said that the workers mainly expressed their anger over their unfair
treatment.
Meanwhile, Foxconn, one of the world's biggest
contract electronics makers, has confirmed that it is being investigated
by Chinese authorities following allegations that at least one
executive accepted bribes.
The comments followed a report by
Taiwan's Next Magazine, which claimed a Foxconn manager was detained in
the southern city of Shenzhen, because he sought bribes from suppliers.
Foxconn said it was co-operating with the probe and was reviewing processes. With Agency Inputs
