Foxconn forcing sick workers to stay on iPhone production lines

I’m not saying this is made up but these types of groups do tend to exaggerate claims made by workers, just like union organizers do. The truth usually lies somewhere in the middle. We do know that the dictator Xi Jinping went from zero-covid to don’t-give-a-shit seemingly overnight.
In either event brace yourselves for the usual anti-Apple drivel to follow an article like this one. And remember this article when you buy that gadget for your kid made in a factory just down the road from Foxconn. It’s not only Apple you know. It’s everybody who manufactures in China.
They're based in New York and are a tech news site.

Lol it’s obviously a hyper anti corporate outfit. Do you really think Foxconn will be forcing anyone to work in the line after what happened 2 weeks ago? Sick from what? Hang nail? Hair split end?mknelson said:

No named sources, no corroborating sources, completely just made up one sided story -
Foxconn forcing sick workers to stay on iPhone production lines
Good post and you are right essentially. I would add your “ultra right” way of herd immunity has proven to be the better solution and it’s essentially how humans has survived throughout the history of species . So it’s not a new thought or “out there”waveparticle said:There are two implicitly divergent thoughts on how to fight the spread of covid. On the ultra left the thought is to prevent the deaths, the zero covid policy is the most extreme that it tries to completely eliminate the spread brutally. On the ultra right the thought is to let the covid spread unrestricted until a herd immunity is achieved. This thought is based on the acknowledge that the death rate of Omicron is very low except maybe the elderly or people with underlying health problems. And the is Darwinism.
however, this idea you can close everything and hide the Virus away is frankly stupid beyond belief.

According to this same activist group, some Foxconn workers also saw martians working next to them and another group also said Foxconn asked them to work with split ends on their hair!
Some people would believe anything…
where is Apple insiders editorial staff,? Did they get this groups back ground before printing? Have some standards please!

Everybody works when they are sick sometimes.
some people just want to stir it up, probably people paid them to do it to try to crash Apple stock, won’t be the first time
many of these people won’t need to work sick for much longer because my guess is next year, half of these jobs would be gone as Apple moves out of China. Then these people would be begging to work with little sniffles
