[Guide] Some students of the Northern Information Engineering College of Xi ' an University of technology are forced to enter the internship at Foxconn factory and will not be granted a degree certificate without attending the internship. Tencent Digital News (Mangofish) October 11, as a new generation of game consoles, Sony PlayStation 4 Although has been officially released, but has not officially listed, Foxconn, a Taiwanese maker who has worked for technology giants such as Apple and Microsoft, is now stepping up its PlayStation 4 production mission. However, in order to catch up with PlayStation 4 next month's global listing plan, there have been reports recently that Foxconn illegally increased its intern hours. In this respect, Hon Hai admits that the Foxconn plant in northeastern China does have the practice of allowing some interns to work night shifts and working overtime, in violation of corporate policy. In Thursday, the Beijing Times reported that some students from the Northern Information Engineering Institute of XI ' an University of technology were forced to enter the internship at Foxconn, although it was not illegal for interns to enter Foxconn, but in practice they had to go through each post to get the six credits required for graduation. While it is not yet certain that this is directly related to the production of PlayStation 4, it reflects irregularities such as forced overtime and forced night shifts within Foxconn, which are not in line with Foxconn's stated work. After being exposed to increased intern hours, Foxconn immediately made a statement that it would take immediate steps to stop the irregularities and stressed that interns had the right to opt out at any time.
