phrase was questionable, but the Corriere della Sera tries to improve it:
| Steve Jobs on Foxconn: "It 's a very nice factory" The chain of suicide: "Apple is concerned and has sent people to investigate. But it's not a candy store " " Foxconn is not a candy store. To be a factory is very pretty. " So Steve Jobs, Apple's chief executive, on the "factory of suicide" that produces many sold hi-tech gadgets (including the iPad and other Apple products, but also components for Dell and Nokia) and jumped to the news for a 'wave of suicides among the workers, already 13 years since the beginning. |
The Republic then it pulls back and throws:
| Jobs defends Foxconn "It's not factory slaves" [...] Jobs has defended the working conditions in Foxconn. "It's not a candy store - he explained - is a factory but, my gosh, has restaurants, cinemas, hospitals and swimming pools. To be a factory is very pretty." |
Indeed, it is likely that they both copied from here:
| CHINA: JOBS, Foxconn and 'A FACTORY' Very nice (AGI) - Rancho Palos Verdes, June 2 - The number one of Apple, Steve Jobs defines Foxconn "very nice". Jobs defended the working conditions in the factory, based in Taiwan, which produces the iPhone is that it 'was scovolta by a wave of suicides. "Foxconn is not 'a candy store - Jobs says - and' a factory but, my gosh, has restaurants, cinemas, hospitals and swimming pools. To be a factory and 'nice'. The Foxconn and 'a huge company that manufactures electronic components and supplies such giants as Apple, Dell and Nokia. |
strange statement, right?
Now read this: Sweatshop .
At this moment the situation becomes clearer.
| Any comments on the Foxconn suicides Which We've Been hearing so much about, Asks Kara. Apple is extraordinarily diligent and rigorous about vetting its manufacturing partners, Jobs answers. “Foxconn is not a sweatshop,” he adds. “They’ve got restaurants and swimming pools….For a factory, it’s a pretty nice factory.” |
