Short summary:
Foxconn, which is one of the biggest manufacturers of products for some companies like Dell and Apple in China, and has more than one million laborers, announced that it would increase its workers' salaries and reduce overtime hours at the same time. Those workers were treated badly in the past.

Issues:

# Do you think Foxconn treated its laborers unfairly in the past?

# Why is Foxconn doing these recoveries right now?

# Do you think this increase will affect the production and the quality of the company?

# Do you think that the company did the right thing or it wasted its money?

My opinion:

I believe that workers should be treated fairly all over the world for many reasons. First, laborers are humans and they have rights to be treated well. Second, dealing with employees in a nice way would increase the production of the companies and the quality of production also would be better. In sum, I think laborers are the first support of any company.
