These workers, virtually 250,000 of them, are kids. They are migrants. They come into the city to get these jobs, they work for a few years, they send all their money home, and they are gone.
This is not a career.
We have a factory in China. Our operators go through a 6 month training period because the job is skilled. They sign a three year contract, however after CNY or another long holiday, many do not return. Why? They have made enough money they can go home now...
It's an expensive proposition for us to train these kids only to have them run hope before they have finished.
What's the option? Pay them more? They will leave sooner for home... Hire only those who want to make a career with us? The factory cities, the industrial zones that China has established, are not where these kids want to settle down.
It's a real challenge, and we only employee 1200 operators. I can only imagine how Foxconn desks with 250,000 at one location.
