given the Grim headlines about Foxconn in recent years you might wonder why anyone would ever want to work there but as our exclusive look reveals China has very different values when it comes to gainful employment Monday morning at the Foxconn recruiting center and over 3000 people have been lined up since the wee hours all desperate to work for Apple's biggest supplier why do you want to work here I heard the work is hard here says this 18 year old but I want to get some experience I ask another if she's heard about the notorious suicides at Foxconn does that worry you does that scare you I don't think it has very much to do with the company she says they wait in a patient Mass hoping to land a starting salary of the promised 1.78 an hour unless they work 47 overtime hours a month the Chinese government will consider them too poor to withdraw any taxes but to this crowd that doesn't seem to matter desire Trump's discipline and ignoring police whistles they rushed the gates eager to wave a national ID card across an electronic reader those who hear the satisfying beep are sent in those with bogus IDs are silently turned away the demand for iPhones and other electronics is so high Foxconn will hire 80 percent of these people today good news to those who travel all night bye bus and are ready to move in training what Foxconn calls team building the new hires will be sitting on a production law so this is homeless and many of them will pay 17.50 a month to move into a dorm like this with seven strangers to get a sense of how this compares to their homes we travel to a village outside the industrial town of Chengdu where a single family might live in a room like this oh that's your heat oh I see though they have heard of Foxconn they've never seen an iPad before so this is what they make it's called an iPad and since the young people left to work in the factories they say everything is better so you you eat better you have more better clothes you more to do yes they say everything wow meanwhile back in the Apple lines in Shenzhen the Fair Labor Association audit continues you know people are really pushing the stuff out Apple paid 250 000 to join this group and apple is paying for this audit making critics worry about a conflict of interest but aret van heerden of the fla insists that when they publish this report any whitewash will be obvious what are you looking for with a behavior traits physical characteristics what definitely one of them is real workers make will they look up even you know we we come in here we're Outsiders we're obviously an object of curiosity and I want to know can they express that Curiosity can they steal a glance I go into facilities where people won't look up and they're really really intimidated I'm Bill since Apple encouraged us to approach anyone on their lines we did what goes through your mind when you do the same thing all day we met people on and off the factory complex did you move to here for this job on and off the record you can be honest and it became quickly obvious that a strange American with a camera crew only gets so much Candor so if there was one thing that you could change about your job here what would it be but plenty of people like Zhang had no problem telling me that the dorms are too crowded and the trees block the sunshine and the food prices are too high we heard the kind of complaints you'd hear at any Factory or college campus and even the wages have doubled since the suicide Nets went up most everyone complained about low pay but in China other than complaining there's very little they can do about it right now American style unions don't exist here but Lewis Wu admits in the next few years they could take hold and that would be major news because when 150 non-apple Foxconn workers had demands in January they went up to a factory roof and threatened to jump what happened well I think first of all it's not because of pain it's part of the negotiation process but I'm very happy that you know everything was resolved a sober and kind of collective bargaining right there yes yes absolutely absolutely if if Apple came to you and said you know out of the goodness of our heart because we're doing so well we want to pay everyone who touches an iPad double could you do that why not that would be good for the employees right and also definitely good for China and good for definitely good for us because we will have more stable workers who would love to work for you know our company because they will get paid a lot more than anyone else
