Yes they did provide a raise. Here's your interesting news. http://forums.appleinsider.com/showthread.php?s=&threadi...

You can find other references to that raise by using a search engine.

You mean you have no control over a factory that you're the primary(or only) customer of?

>How about HP, Cisco, Intel, Acer, Asus, Dell, Nokia, etc?

I was replying to your GP post that stated that Apple and Jobs weren't after profit margins only. So you mean Apple is as mindlessly profit driven(if not more) as all those other companies you just listed? Thanks for proving my point. http://downloadsquad.switched.com/2010/06/02/foxconn-pay-rai...

Oh, and sorry downvoters for insulting your religion with facts. I should have known better, I will toe in line so that I don't get banned due to bad karma. http://articles.cnn.com/2011-05-19/tech/apple.religion_1_app...

No. Foxconn makes products not only for Apple, but for those and other companies too. Hence my question, why should Apple be responsible for the pay. And Jobs' desire is not to improve experience for those making the products, but for those using them.
Sad to see people downvoting valid arguments without replying why.
