Participants dressed as Foxconn workers take part in a protest against Taiwanese technology giant Foxconn, which manufactures Apple products in mainland China, outside an Apple retail outlet in Hong Kong on May 7, 2011. Taiwanese technology giant Foxconn treats its workers like “machines” a Hong Kong based labour group said on May 3, after a survey based on interviews with the firm’s workers in mainland China. At least 13 Foxconn employees died in apparent suicides last year, which rights activists blamed on tough working conditions in a case that highlighted the challenges faced by millions of Chinese factory workers.
