Workers’ protest/Arbeiter Protest in Wuhan/China

The foto shows Pudong in Shanghai.La foto va vedere Pudong a Shanghai. Auf dem Bild sehen wir Pudong in Shanghai.

I’ve read on IDG News Service

that 150 workers at the Foxconn company (Technology Group) in Wuhan, China have treatened (hanno minaciato) to jump from the building if their compensation demands were not met. I think people must really be desperate to be ready to do something like this.

und in der taz.de (auf Deutsch) steht,

dass letzte Woche sogar (persino) bis zu 300 Arbeiterinnen (lavoratrici)  der Firma TOXCONN (taiwanische  und weltgrösste Elektronikkonzern) zum Selbstmord (suicidio) bereit gewesen seien,(sarebbero stati pronte al)  wenn der Lohnkonflikt (conflitto salariale) nicht gelöst würde.(non fosse risolto) http://taz.de/Protest-von-Foxconn-Mitarbeitern/!85418/

di fare una cosa del genere.)
