Looking for a fair trade iPod Nano
How cool is working on an iPod Nano assembly line?
Andrew Leonard [2006-06-14]

  • One more thing

    This is wrong. 27 pounds is roughly $50 USD. Which is 400 RMB. NO factory in Dongguan can pay so little for full time, 40 hour weeks work. This is totally wrong. A factory worker in a State-Owned company in the interior of China makes more than this now. In Shenzhen area, they would not keep the worker more than a week at that salary.
