TAIPEI (Reuters) - Foxconn Technology Group, the main supplier of Apple Inc ​

, said on Thursday a worker at a Chinese plant jumped from his apartment on Wednesday, the first suicide since the company agreed with its U.S. client to improve work conditions.

The 23 year-old worker fell to his death from his apartment located outside the plant in the southwestern city of Chengdu, according to a statement by Foxconn. The worker had joined the company last month and police were investigating the death.

Apple and Foxconn reached an agreement in March to improve conditions for the 1.2 million workers assembling iPhones and iPads, a landmark decision that could change the way Western companies do business in China.

According to the agreement, Foxconn would hire tens of thousands of new workers to reduce overtime work, improve safety protocols and upgrade housing and other amenities.

The move comes after Apple, criticized over working conditions at its sprawling chain of suppliers in China, agreed to an investigation by the independent Fair Labor Association earlier this year to stem criticism that its products were built in sweatshop-like conditions.

A series of suicides among young workers were reported at Foxconn in 2010, and three workers died in an explosion at a Foxconn plant in Chengdu last June.

Foxconn also announced in mid-February it had raised wages for workers by 16 to 25 percent.

Hon Hai Precision Industry <2317.TW>, which makes iPhones and iPads for Apple, is the main listed unit of the Foxconn group, while Foxconn International <2038.HK> manufactures handsets for clients such as Nokia and Sony Ericsson .

About 100 workers from Foxconn's Chengdu plant went on the rampage earlier this month after a dispute in a restaurant turned violent.

Nike did worse and they are still doing huge business.

They had to change the way they do business and it happened years ago.

 

[RAWD]

This is old news. Apple is no different than Walmart and Louis Vuitton. The west worships consumerism, we don't care what happens at the other end of the supply chain.

Do I like it... No, not at all.

However.

For all intents and purposes many parts of the world are going through their first industrial revolution. Some of the people who work in these factories either live with the conditions are starve with no income whatsoever. I am not justifying this at all, but WE keep buying the products, and WE refuse to pay the prices of North American produced commodities, so these things keep happening.

 

[tboy]

what he said ^^^^^ but to answer the question: no i wouldn't buy an apple product ever....not because of this, but because i'm not a lemming and don't jump on the "I gotta have it" bandwagon......

what most likely will happen over the coming years will be just like what happened here in north america and elsewhere....eventually the workers will garner power and strike, then the government will step in and give them rights, which will in turn improve working conditions, wages, benefits etc and then the items will cost 10x as much just like they do here....hopefully at that point oems will realize they can make the items here for the same price and whoop, we got our jobs back....
