Asian Robots!

I guess every Asian knows personally that many of them are born workers! They work very hard, hard enough that their employees always take advantage of them. I already wrote on this topic on how employers exploit their workers with extra hours of work and no pay for the same.

But what I'm discussing here is - How, many asians work more than their capacity, not in the high tech IT jobs, but in some factory floor as hourly labourers with unhealthy, unsafe & unhappy working & living conditions just to get their daily bread & butter:(! Why do you think many Americans hate WalMart - I mean literally boycott? One of the reasons is because of these unhealthy workers all around the world trying to meet the demands of WalMart's Supply Chain. Many workers in many Asian countries like Bangladesh and Indonesia work for very less pay but work more than like 16 hours a day.

Well! A cool gadget from California joined this line today - Apple & it's iPod! A very disturbing report from Shenzhen, China in fact!

"...Like soldiers on parade, the young men and women are ordered to line up on the factory roof and drilled for up to three hours, often in searing heat...."

"...They discourage individualism, effectively turning the workers into robots as much as they can. Except, of course, they're a lot cheaper than robots..."

I wish, some human welfare commission do take a notice of this report and order due actions! Well, Apple has promised to look into the matter and may be, they may come up with more details and a good, safety & healthy working conditions for the workers in their supply chain. Hope this won't end up like any other hot story of a day and dies out eventually!
