Foxconn sucides Group members: 熊丹,邬龙利,许晓斌,王展琪,何嫦,李清,方若 琳

Detail The Foxconn suicides occurred between January and November, 2010, when eighteen Foxconn employees attempted suicide with fourteen deaths. The suicides drew media attention, and employment practices at Foxconn, a large contract manufacturer, were investigated by several of its customers. Foxconn is a major manufacturer catering to famous-name brands including Apple, Dell, HP, Motorola, Nintendo, Sony and Nokia.

The suicides prompted 20 Chinese universities to compile a report on Foxconn, which they decried as a labour camp. Other experts have claimed that employees are treated comparatively well at Foxconn, but news reports have been critical. Long working hours, discrimination of mainland Chinese workers by their Taiwanese coworkers, and a lack of working relationships have all been cited as potential causes. In response, Foxconn substantially increased wages for its southern China workforce, installed suicide- prevention netting, and asked employees to sign no- suicide pledges

The Foxconn deaths may have been a product of economic conditions in China during 2010. These conditions also led to several major strike actions at high-profile manufacturers in China. The Lewisian turning-point and the decline in the surplus Chinese labour-pool are two potential macro-economic factors. The number of suicides is still less than half of the national rate, and that the payment of a life insurance and pension may have also been a factor.

Social Needs Hold parties weekly to offer a chance for the employees to make friends. There will be some apartments for the upper employers who have a family, so that they can live together. Protect the employees’ secrets and intimacy.

Esteem Needs The employers should praise the employees in public in order to build up their self-recognition. Set up an award to reward the employee who is most friendly to other.
