What's behind those flashy lights ?? iPhone touted the most desired gadget around the world doesn't have good and friendly atmosphere to work ? What does the increase in number of suicide say?
A ninth employee has jumped to his death at Taiwanese iPhone manufacturer Foxconn, China's state media reports.
Xinhua said 21-year-old Nan Gang leapt from a four-storey factory in the early hours, soon after finishing work.
Shortly after, it emerged that the death of a worker at a Foxconn plant in Hebei province earlier this year was also a suicide.
A total of 11 Foxconn employees have tried to kill themselves this year - two have survived.
The incidents have raised concerns about worker treatment at the site.
The Associated Press quoted spokesman Arthur Huang as saying the company carried out social responsibility programmes to ensure workers' welfare.
Earlier this week, Foxconn said it was enlisting counsellors and Buddhist monks to provide emotional support for its workers.
