Kotaku gives some updates to the suicides and working conditions news at Foxconn. the article says the company is now moving to hire 'mature workers' after reports of another death."Foxconn is looking at hiring more mature workers. This comes as last week a 22-year-old female worker fell to her death at a Foxconn manufacturing plant. Two types of anti-psychotic drugs were found in her dorm."-Kotaku
The post also points towards an article in the Independent about working conditions in the factory. "Even as their work has propelled China towards being a super-power, these workers got less and less. Wages as a proportion of GDP fell in China every single year from 1983 to 2005."-Independent
