Foxconn, an original equipment manufacturer for Apple's iPod, has admitted that their employees work about 80 extra hours each month, which is against the law in China.<\/p>\n

According to Chinese labor laws, a company breaks the law if it asks employees to work more than 36 extra hours each month. <\/p>\n

However, Li Zong, a spokesperson from Foxconn, says Foxconn's complicated salary structure has caused misunderstanding among the media, and the company has paid the workers according to the minimum salary standards of the Shenzhen local government.<\/p>\n

Li also says Apple has sent a special team to investigate, but has found no problem with Foxconn. <\/p>\n

It was reported earlier that Apple's iPod OEM paid very little to the workers and provided very poor working conditions for them in their Chinese factories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
