them, and spend 24 hours like this

Although the factory has a basketball court, gym, dance room and other recreational facilities, but they do not have the energy and energy to enjoy, their life is like a pendulum, day after day in silent repression repeat. At the end of September of this year, after the "China Labour Watch" published a survey condemning Apple's labour problems on behalf of its factories, the experience of some student interns surfaced, working 8~10.5 hours a day, talking, walking, going to the bathroom, etc. were tightly controlled ... the IT Times reporter goes to one of the modern factories of Shanghai GNDC Technology, Visit their most authentic work and life status.

No talking, no walking, no toilet. To submit an application

Henan University student Wang Jiankun (alias) originally wanted to earn some pocket money by summer job, did not think by the intermediary introduced to Shanghai GNDC after, became depressed beginning.

Wang Jiankun to the IT Times reporter that after entering the factory, first a series of intensive training, followed by quick induction work. The factory stipulates to work 8:30 A.M. every day, but they will be rushed to the plant before 8 o'clock, standing to receive a lecture, the 20 minutes of the lecture, is not counted into the working hours.

Then start a day's work. From 8:30 to 11:30 in 3 hours, workers to sit in front of the assembly line to do their homework, can not talk, can not go back and forth, the work station is not allowed to bring water, the toilet to ask for instructions, many people can only take advantage of the opportunity to use the toilet activities muscles, drink water. However, such a toilet opportunity is also precious, a person only 1~2 times a day, but there is no hard rules, mainly to see the subjective will of the team leader.

"My homework is to put the mobile phone screen and motherboard assembly, on such an action, an average of one per minute, 60 per hour, 600 a day to complete, and speed can not be too slow, otherwise the product backlog on the assembly line, will be scolded by superiors." Wang Jiankun said, at this time, his head automatically became a blank, nothing to think about, nothing is not utopian, just mechanized to complete their work.

The work in the afternoon is basically the same as in the morning, but the time is 5 hours, and it's busy until 5 o'clock in the afternoon. If the work task is tight, evening also must work overtime 2.5 hours, each day's working time is 10.5 hours, the long time block, lets the evening return to the dormitory the Wang Jiankun, is tired almost even does not want to say.

Eating like war, amateur life equals zero.

In addition to the tired and repetitive work, GNDC's life is busy and monotonous. The same for this summer to GNDC internship, from Nanyang, Henan province, the five secondary vocational school students Han Jingjing to "it times" reporter said that the factory dormitory, catering and other conditions, and imagine a far cry. First-line workers dormitory is divided into factory and factory outside, generally 10 people or 12 rooms, an area of about 28 square meters, overcrowded.

By the agency introduced by the dispatch workers generally live outside the factory, take the bus takes 20 minutes to arrive, Han Jingjing is also dispatched workers. "The factory car is Gndc rented bus, a car full can sit 50 people, we have been waiting for the bus from 7 o'clock in the morning, there are thousands of people at that time to work, every morning, like war, and so on after the empty came desperately to squeeze, often packed like a sardine can, if not crowded will be late, deduct performance or deduct money, The number of times was expelled. ”

It takes 5 minutes to get to the canteen from the work place. Noon Lunch time is also as precious as gold, the pace of the fast people can not breathe. Han Jingjing said the lunch time was only 50 minutes, dinner was only 40 minutes, waiting in line for an average of 10 minutes, leaving little time for dinner and rest. "We will pick some of the shortest lines, although the window is not necessarily delicious food, but this will save time, you can spare 10-20 minutes to rest, and dinner is not usually eaten in the cafeteria, with this 40 minutes to take a nap and go back to supper at night." ”

Han Jingjing Introduction, evening after work by shuttle bus back to the dormitory area, around to buy some supper, go back to take a bath, more than 11 points, a plunge into the quilt to sleep, the next day 6:30 A.M. have to get up. Although the factory has dance room, basketball court and other types of fitness facilities, but usually almost no physical use, the only spare time, just want to stay in the dormitory to have a good rest.

Even such hard work and life, Wang Jiankun, Han Jingjing also suffered a wage storm. Ordinary workers one months of basic salary is 1620 yuan, plus some overtime, hand wages more than 2000 yuan. However, when they finished their two-month jobs to return to school, wages were deducted by 600 yuan. Han Jingjing said that the GNDC company through the part of the Labor Dispatch company in summer hired a large number of interns, in the agreed agreement to work less than 3 months will deduct 600 yuan liquidated damages. "Student summer internship, generally only 2 months, such a rule is not the Overlord clause?" ”

"China Labor Watch" Next the sword refers to Guang da

Li Qiang, founder of China Labor Watch, told the IT times that Apple had "partially responded" to its investigation report, saying it would follow up on the labor issues, but they asked that the replies not be made public. "If Apple does not respond publicly, it means that GNDC's infringement continues." "said Li Qiang.

Although these foundry companies do not just produce Apple products, they are also working for Samsung, Asus and other products, and Apple and foundry companies seem to have "little relationship", but Li Qiang believes that Apple is now the most valuable company in the world, and if Apple doesn't take the lead, Other brands will not take steps to improve labour rights in developing countries. "The foundry is just a scapegoat for branded companies. Because the brand company's interest in the foundry is squeezing, it causes the factory to drive down labor costs and ultimately suffers the ordinary workers; Is Apple willing to let a share of the profits go to Chinese workers? If Apple is to really enforce social responsibility standards, it will have to act on behalf of the factory. ”

"For other IT brands, the ILO will also be concerned," he said. "We are currently investigating Apple's foundry, Shanghai, and the company is also producing brands such as HP, Dell and Sony, and the next report will include these brands." ”
