4,000 Foxconn Workers Stage 1-Day Strike in China 
--------------------------------------------------


 
Thousands of workers staged a one-day strike on Friday at the Foxconn
factory in China known for poorly treating workers who help make Apple
products such as the i Phone. The group China Labor Watch says up to
4,000 Foxconn workers walked off the job in protest of new employee
demands including working through a holiday that began last week.
Foxconn initally denied that a strike was taking place, but later said
that the dispute had been resolved.
