Foxconn-Sharp partnership to result in new factory to produce Apple iPhone displays
Share:
Since Foxconn already assembles most of Apple's iPhones and iPads, what does Sharp bring to the table? Apparently, the Japanese company offers and improvement in "quality management" at the factory. Both Foxconn and Sharp have partnered up before as the former owns a 46.48% share in Sharp's liquid crystal manufacturing plant in Sakai, Japan, considered to be the most advanced factory in the country.

With Samsung parts making up much of Apple's mobile devices, both Foxconn and Sharp hope that their partnership will allow them to supply more parts to the Apple iPhone and Apple iPad. While it is not clear if the partnership with Foxconn forced this decision, Sharp also announced on Thursday that the subsidiary that owns it's Saki, Japan factory has bought back a 7% share in the facility from Sony ending the partnership between those two tech companies.

so now they will have slaves making the screens and assembling the phones. doubling down on slave use. Good thing to know that they are completely ignoring the horrid working conditions they supply.

So you choose to ignore all the improvements that have happened in recent months thanks to Apple.
Of course, Apple could pay their factory workers 6 figure salaries and you'd still find a way to bitch. You have a very female mindset.

Google it. Increased pay, shorter work hours, better work conditions etc

Seems that suicides is everyday routine for them, so they decide to put nets to catch people jumping out of roofs. Nice improvement to keep them slaves alive as they have to serve. (sarcasm)
So that was main improvement to avoid suicides?
But what about workers welfare improvements?
