Foxconn apple labor 2012 4 4

Participants dressed up to represent Foxconn workers take part in a protest against the Taiwanese technology giant, which manufactures Apple products in mainland China, outside an Apple retail outlet in Hong Kong on May 7, 2011. At least 13 Foxconn employees died in apparent suicides last year, which rights activists blamed on tough working conditions in a case that highlighted the challenges faced by millions of Chinese factory workers.
