Apple executives say that going overseas, at this point, is their only option. One former executive described how the company relied upon a Chinese factory to revamp iPhone manufacturing just weeks before the device was due on shelves. Apple had redesigned the iPhone’s screen at the last minute, forcing an assembly line overhaul. New screens began arriving at the plant near midnight.
A foreman immediately roused 8,000 workers inside the company’s dormitories, according to the executive. Each employee was given a biscuit and a cup of tea, guided to a workstation and within half an hour started a 12-hour shift fitting glass screens into beveled frames.
Basically, if Americans want to work, they should agree to the following
- live in company dorms
- be on call 24/7
- Can be woken up at midnight with biscuit and tea.
- No worker's rights
- No safety norms
Basically, American has just dial back around 100 years.
