At that foxconn factory there are 200,000 workers. It's like one giant city. <br /><br />Workers work 7 days a week for months at a time. Workers have to apply ahead of time for their "mandatory" one day off of work a week. If they are lucky enough to get a day off, they do not go outside the walls of the factory but they stay on "campus" and visit the company stores.
