Yup! So I guess they will be suing dead people right?

*Jumps of a building* Well ma'am, before you go into the burial ground, we need you to appear in court due to you voiding your contract.

Sahil4740d ago

No there isn't going to be any lawsuit or suing of some kind, not to their families too, it's just to make sure they are not thinking about it.

fatstarr4740d ago

thats mind control and it wouldn't pass in the usa. its a shame that those 14 workers had to work in such bad conditions and basically become some type of martyrs for the world to take notice.

GodsHand4740d ago

In some states, it's illegal to commit suicide. I never really seen anything being done, when people fail to kill themselves.

But, if a person wanted to die, let them, I don't see how it effects another, just maybe a companys reputation, but if it got to that point, maybe something is wrong with the company, and not the person.

Senden4740d ago

I think it's to do with the workers family suing the company.

KingLizzle4740d ago

Lol, not exactly a classy move! Seems odd that you can sign away your family's legal rights over there!

_Q_4740d ago

Oh wow. Pure absurd comedy. Poor people they didn't choose to be born there...

Speed-Racer4740d ago

Although Foxconn is actually one of the better places to work. It seems the suicide rate in other companies in much higher according a couple reports I read.

Sahil4740d ago

Yeah, I think it's just to assure that they are not thinking of that thought.

aaaaaaaaa4740d ago

Guess this goes against what Donald Trump wanted?

Zerg2657d ago

I need to replace my crappy iPhone 7! Apple will definitely drop the price this round!

ProjectVulcan2657d ago

It's because of those pesky Chinese workers wanting ridiculous luxuries such as 'breaks' and less than 18 hour days while getting paid more than 50 cents an hour isn't it Foxconn?

Software_Lover2657d ago

And it will still be expensive.
