Plant Produces iPhone's Touchscreen Is On Strike

This is truly a global economy, and please pretend to be surprised about that we are living in a global economy.  When Taiwan or China or India sneeze and hiccup, we Americans may have to see our supplies dwindle.  Just in, a plant which produces iPhone’s touchscreens is on strike, and now the fear is that there won’t be enough iPhone in Apple’s inventory to be on sale.  From reading here that the condition for the workers at the plants in China run by Taiwan’s companies to supply Apple’s iPhone’s parts is inhuman.  Imagine you yourself who only being paid with $44.3082 per month but have to toil around the clock and live in a dormitory with another 99 people.  According to macworld.co.uk, Foxconn’s Longhua plant houses 200,000 workers; the population’s size is so huge that people are comparing a plant to a city.  Sometimes, we the people who are using the products in the West definitely had forgot about the conditions of the workers who made the products went through in parts of the East.  At the same time we have the corporations to blame for unemployment due to outsourcing.
