IT students forced to work on the assembly of the PlayStation 4

The "best" recruitment practice distinguished Foxconn. According to the Chinese press, the new generation of Sony PlayStation 4 game consoles gather thousands of computer and engineering students from the Xian University of Technology.

The Foxconn company designed them for “work experience”, for which students miss an opportunity to lose 6 academic points, that is, they lose the opportunity to move to the next course.

On the practical training of students on Foxconn written even on the website of the university . A practice in the industrial park of Foxconn Yantai will allow students to get acquainted with the longest conveyor, quality control system, etc. True, it says about the "summer practice" of 45 students of the photovoltaic department. In reality, a lot more people participate in the program.

Students complain that they are assigned to work that is not related to the profession, including unloading and delivery of goods. For example, one student from the finance department was put on the conveyor belt, where he glued the details of the PlayStation 4. The second was put on the polishing station section and gluing stickers. The last year student of the Faculty of Informatics is now engaged in packing wires and user manuals in PlayStation 4 boxes.

Students say their work shift lasts as much as regular PlayStation 4 employees. The only difference is that they are paid nothing.



There are still corners in the world where they do not hesitate to use cheap or free labor of schoolchildren, students and soldiers. Somewhere they are sent to collect potatoes, and somewhere - to the PlayStation 4 conveyor, but the essence of slave labor remains unchanged.

Foxconn in the press comments said that all students work voluntarily and can leave at any time. Representatives of the university refused to comment on information about the agency fee for attracting labor.
