Foxconn's solution to worker suicides: pep rallies with pom-poms

Young Foxconn workers packed a stadium near the factory yesterday, waving pompoms and shouting slogans at a pep rally organized by top brass to counter bad press over a string of suicides at the company’s heavily regimented factories. “Twenty thousand workers dressed in costumes ranging from cheerleader outfits to Victorian dresses filled the stadium at the factory complex, which was decorated with colourful flags bearing messages such as ‘Treasure your life, love your family.'” [Thanks, Ned Sublette!]
