Report: Overworked Foxconn Workers Complaining About Forced Unpaid Leave


Remember when people would complain about those horrible working conditions at Foxconn plants? How employees worked too much? Now, people — well, Foxconn workers — are complaining about something else: too little work.

According to China Business News (via TechInAsia), Foxconn workers on the iPad line are suddenly finding themselves twiddling their thumbs with loads of time off. And for workers, more time off means lower salaries. One worker told China Business News that he already had 10 unpaid days off in March.
