Acording to MSNBC Foxconn Technology Group is a company in China that assembles Apple iPhones. As of today, the plant has been closed due to a brawl in the dorms of the company, involving 2,000 workers. Fox news says, "It was not clear how long the shutdown would last at the plant, which employs about 79,000 people in the northern Chinese city of Taiyuan, while police and company officials investigate the cause of the disturbance." This is a huge number of people, maybe not for China but relative to the world, so this shutdown of the whole company really effects a large number of families. Although there have been comments from the company sayign it will only be closed one day for investigation, some people are expecting that it will be closed longer. There have been a few incidents recently related to Foxconn which draws a lot of attention in other countries because it mainly supplies for Apple. They have also been accused of poor conditions and mistreatment of the workers. Clearly, Foxconn needs to get itself together and try to create a better image for themselves and for Apple
