employees have complained about sharing dormitories with colleagues who tested positive for COVID. They claim they were misled over compensation benefits at the factory that accounts for 70% of global iPhone shipments.

Foxconn on Thursday offered 10,000 yuan ($1,400) to protesting recruits who agreed to resign and leave the plant.

The company apologised for a pay-related "technical error" when hiring, which workers say was a factor that led to protests involving clashes with security personnel.

Edit: Read this article from Sixth Tone instead. It’s much better.

    Goddamn, that’s a conundrum, isn’t it?

    I want Sixth Tone to get bigger so they can become the only news source I need, at least for Chinese stuff.

    But you raise an awesome point. What if that changes what Sixth Tone is.

    I don’t know. I think I’d rather it remain small, and continue providing insightful, high-quality articles on topics and issues none of the other major Chinese news sources cover.
