11th Foxconn staff dies

BEIJING - ANOTHER employee of Taiwanese technology giant Foxconn fell to his death on Wednesday at the company's plant in southern China - the 11th such death this year, state media reported. The apparent suicides have raised questions about the conditions for millions of factory workers in China, especially at Apple manufacturer Foxconn, where labour activists say long hours, low pay and high pressure are the norm.

The official Xinhua news agency provided no further details on the latest death, which came just hours after the firm reportedly urged its workers in southern China to promise in writing not to kill themselves as it battles to stem a spate of factory suicides. -- AFP
