    The Foxconn plant in question employees roughly 800,000 people
    Holy fuck lol, that is a ton of people to be employed by one plant.

    This isn't anything new, and besides, all of the murders surrounding coltan are far, far worse than a few people willingly killing themselves. Kinda wish that would get some press instead of this stupid shit.

    well, if you willing to work for like 15~16hrs a day, 7 days a week, while you are getting the paid like 200usd per month.

    Although I'm not it is true or not, there is a rumor about these mass suicide, and why ppl rather to suicide instead of quit the job. The contract they have signed, it ridiculous unfair that you had to pay back large amount of your training fee which those ppl definitely unable to make it. And one more reason is that if you suicide, the company will pay the total that more than what you able to earn in within next few years >.>

    This has been in the media for long time now. Basically people are being forced to work the whole day with little to no breaks with little pay.
