Foxconn technologies one of the worlds largest technology producers in is hot water. They have been pointed out for unethical behavior towards there employees. Giving them very low wages and dangerous work environments. Apple is a big player in this situation and has many products produced by Foxconn and employees mainly in China. Now that they have been spotted for doing this type of behavior another big issue has risen. How much to pay the Chinese workers? The chinese economy is very equal people are all equally poor, but the gap is getting bigger between the rich and the poor so many are getting upset over this unethical situation. The chinese government is very strict on how they pay employees and how its spent. So the simple answer is not so simple, by paying the Chinese workers more it will change the whole persecutive of the economy and will hurt what the Chinese governments purpose. It would help the average chinese employee over all with living standards and such but will change things also as a result. If you were Foxconn would you be this unethical? Would you give lots back to the employees? Why or why not?
