February 20, 2012
Foxconn, a supplier for Apple, Microsoft, Samsung and many other top electronics brands, is giving its employees a raise of 16% to 25% this month as the company faces new scrutiny about its workplace conditions. The raise is reportedly the third that Foxconn has given to employees since 2010 and comes as the Fair Labor Association is monitoring its factories, media scrutiny is at a high point, and activists such as Change.com are calling for improved pay and work environments.
