I heard Three Days Grace was playing over the intercom prior to this incident. :giggle2:

Security beating up a worker? No wonder they rioted. How long until someone blames Apple for this?

So one of the guards was hitting one of the staff.
Sounds like it might have been a disgruntled employee complaining about their "rights" and how "crappy" their "pay-rate" is blah blah blah... Not in China, sorry.
However, having that many people working in the same place it's no surprise a moment of violence broke out.

It's no secret, that workers are treated like sh*t, it's more slavery than work. Here is the result.

Nobody is makeing them work at foxconn they can just quit the job they are crazy. As far as apple goes into this situation I don't care I think all apple products suck.

Life is making...or you want massive migration from china? nobody wants that. If people are not skilled to do anything else and/or don't want to work in shadow business, what can they do? And it's not only in china. In the country i live, you are treated like that everywhere, most of students leaves the country. I have my own business, i can't say i'm happy with that, but i have my own reasons not leave it yet.

Yeah, i'm far from pro socialism, but the anti brigade that the US to be full of seems to come across as very greedy and selfish.
People need to stop looking at how the US was 50-100 years ago, whether you like it or not the world has changed and from what i can see you don't really make anything any-more, especially compared to the past, while all the top US companies outsource the work to other countries, so i'm not sure how the capitalist ways of old can continue.
I do agree these people should and probably are grateful of a job, if it was a choice between having no money or doing their job i would do it.
My next door neighbour would be considered a slave as he works 50-60 hours a week for £6.08 an hour, but him and his GF share the mortgage, each have a car and a comfortable life, he hates his job and is is nowhere near middle class, but he enjoys life.
