And you know this how? The companies Foxconn does business with are kept secret so that the companies do not have their products associated with employee abuse in sweat shops.

Foxconn, which employs some 1.2 million workers in China, is secretive about who it does business with, and the company declined to name its customers for this article.

NYS wanted Foxconn, but their deal was rejected, btw. Its a great opportunity for the state, city, and employees.
Foxconn wanted a state that would least protect employee rights and WI is top of that list.

Did you read the article and comprehend it?

Notice where it mentions Cisco?

If you read the article, you would see that neither Foxconn nor Cisco admits to this. Gee, I wonder why the secrecy.

Foxconn CEO compared workers to animals, had zoo director give management tips
Get a grip already!! There was a movie in the 60's about a mother giving her newly wed daughter advice on a successful marriage by giving her a.... dog training book. And I mentioned that movie at work just last week.. and we had a good hard laugh about it. (And yes, the dog training method does work .)

People are animals. The worst human traits are animal ones, like racism and suspicion and distrust for those outside our pack. We ARE animals that have to use our human reasoning ability and our human memory to consciously rise above our animal tendencies in order to be decent acting human beings.

Lol. Did they deny it?

Obviously, you've never worked on any IT equipment.

Those of us who have know how prolific Foxconn is.

I can see why you are in such denial. It must be such a difficult decision for you. You must either be a person of principles or a person who surfs the web.

My money is on you deciding the web is more important.
