Tuesday, March 3, 2020


On March 2nd shortly after 6pm, a worker jumped to his death from the 11th floor of a Zhengzhou Foxconn dormitory for workers. According to workers, the individual was living at the dorms(富鑫公寓) at Foxconn. Some workers said that it is because he was suspected of having the coronavirus, but we have not been able to verify this information with Foxconn. The factory has prohibited workers from discussing the incident. Workers are facing a lot of pressure at the factory, and some workers are putting in 11 hours a day because the factory is struggling to recruit enough workers. For some positions, workers are required to stand a meter apart from each other. The factory is putting a lot of pressure on workers to complete orders.
