4. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Human Need 1. Physiological needs Before salary increase in June, 2 nd, 2010, General staff’s salary is 900 yuan per month and workers at the production line’s basic pay is 1200, which is too low to satisfy workers’ food, water, shelter, clothing and other physiological needs well.

5. 2. Security needs working more than Foxconn's mandated maximum hours (10 or 11 hours a day) during peak production times many workers were getting insufficient days off exhausted after countless repetitions of the same movements on the production lines Verbal abuse rains down on them if they make a mistake and some have even been beaten up by security guards.

6. 3. Social needs Workers from the same workshop are distributed around different rooms. Workers have no say in where they live. When troubles hit them, these workers, away from their families and other support networks, have neither family nor friends to turn to.

7. 4. Esteem needs Indifference between people No acknowledge of their ability No reward for excellent work Little promotion to a higher position Little status, recognition, self-respect Lack of sense of belonging and cohesion
