But I jest, I very much doubt conditions will be as bad in their WI plant as they used to be in mainland China. (Things have drastically improved since news of the anti-suicide nets went viral years back. Still not exactly a great employer, but at least the urge to kill oneself isn't nearly as strong as it used to be?).
Without question, Foxconn has a historically terrible reputation for worker conditions. I really do wonder what the situation will be like in the outskirts of Racine/Kenosha when this plant actually gets built and comes online. Wonder if they'll find enough people to pay low wages to to staff up? Of course I'm not so sure the mega warehouses that Amazon owns and operates are really much better based upon what I've heard/read, so who knows...
