So, what else is new? Minimising losses and maximising profits...that is the norm for the supplier and retailer.

It's a pity the leaders are so screwed up to even think about working rights. 15 hours per day, making them pay for their own food and letting them bunk in crap conditions is inhuman.

But I suppose that explains the RRODs.
I love how so many sources and readers of these stories villanize China for these working conditions but the reality is that if China were to strengthen their labor laws, Microsoft would just go to Africa to manufacture or South America. Chalk it up to the global economy to solve things.
