subject: "eighth Jump" Who, Under The Defense For The Foxconn - Foxconn Eighth Jump, Jumping [print this page] Place in FOXCONN "Six-jump", the "Southern Weekend" and internship to the identity of potential workers into the Foxconn 28 days, and in the "Eighth jump" launch a timely occasion, entitled "Fuji Kang 'Eighth jump' suicide mystery "in the media. It is reported that Foxconn employees trying to show people "living the same debris," the isolation and monotony, as "bloodthirsty pin machine," the same work environment, and those young men and the "loss of youth." And cited the psychologist as saying, Foxconn staff from the mental illness caused the majority of suicide; quoted as saying by sociologists, the new generation workers are far less real income parents, the lack of escape route back to the rural areas, their anxiety is not conducive to the underlying causes of suicide increase.
But this is what we have to understand the "suicide mystery" it? Because for many the question Foxconn eyes on the people, they also want to know is that so many young lives in leap the time, Foxconn in the end done, or none do.
In the outside world two issues of common concern, the report made clear in the clarification and defense. First of all, the suicide rate for Foxconn staff, psychologists said, "In 2008, China's suicide rate is about 10 million people in 12 who commit suicide, but Foxconn's suicide rate is about 10 million people in two suicide persons. "In this regard, users have been keen to point out that this claim is just look at individual statistics, regardless of the changes and distribution of data, regardless of other indicators. So at least must also consider the suicide rate of change (short bursts) and sources (both from Foxconn). This in the end is the expert's mentally handicapped or the credulous media?
Second one is the Foxconn "sweatshop" issue. Report reads, "Southern Weekend reporter found that intensity of work, overtime hours, pay and benefits, the Foxconn far can not be called 'sweatshops'." As evidence to explain this conclusion, the reporter wrote, it provides food places, to a medium-size towns, smooth and orderly. In comparison with the similar, where well-equipped and superior standards of treatment and norms. Every day thousands of people flock to, only to find its own position, perhaps he can never find a dream.
I am not sure in the eyes of the reporter, "sweatshop" should look like. I do not know why he ignores reports showing a requirement for those employees always work overtime, employees of the "one month are familiar strangers" and "almost hijacked by the machine", "I really hope someone can kick him feet in exchange for 5 minutes of rest time "," to work overtime every day, to buy lottery tickets, it is hard to find their own '8 '"situation? Is it can be rejected Foxconn as a "sweatshop" conditions? I have noticed numerous reports cited the French sociologist Emile Durkheim in the discussion about suicide, but why it also did away with Durkheim's another judge, that is, "With the high suicide rate over individual freedom and excessive control. "
Reported influx of migrant workers to take numerous, and the factory's "orderly" as a testimony reminds me of Mr. Qin Hui, "" sweatshops "Analysis" article to. He said that there is a kind of "sweatshops" of the defense is, "you say sweatshops, many people want to go further into it do not come!" But only so that the international is not convincing. Because the "sweatshop" concept originally appeared in the late 19th century in the Western system of freedom within the scope of employment. Further pointed out that "sweatshop" concept in the West is precisely what the "scientific management" often co-exist. Scientific management was well-known achievements, such as the Ford system, Taylor system and pipeline operations, and high motivation of the piece-rate wage system, are most frequently mentioned in the "sweatshop" stories. All the case with the Foxconn any significant difference in the end?
In Qin Hui's research, the availability of trade union autonomy is to determine the "sweatshops" in the fixed target. As a fact, is in the "Six-jump", the Foxconn relevant person in charge has to admit that union efforts to promote the relief system is not enough. The reports also said that Foxconn Executive General Manager of Military Conflict, "Whether it is formal organizations, such as trade unions, or informal organizations, such as hometown associations, alumni, general staff could not find, so pressure, but can not relieve. "This is not a huge stretch of the machine, a large group of depressed and not free the soul.
Maybe we still can not be opened Foxconn "Eighth jump" after the real answers, and this opened up a can of prescription drugs to the illness, but we can at least do not intentionally or unintentionally do something contrary to common sense and conscience of the defense.
