富士康12跳,13跳接连发生

Since nine out of the first 11 suicidal employees were new recruits, who had worked in Foxconn for less than six months, Gou initiated psychological tests for all the new-comers to track their psychological status.

"I can not guarantee that similar deaths will not happen again, but we are doing our utmost to look after and care more for our staff," he said.

Foxconn is part of Taiwan's Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. and makes computers, game consoles and mobile phones for companies including Hewlett-Packard Co., Sony Corp. and Nokia Corp.

Of Foxconn's 800,000 employees in China, 420,000 are based in Shenzhen. They work shifts and live inside the massive factory complex.

GOVERNMENT APPEAL FOR LIFE

An official of Shenzhen government on Wednesday also called on young employees in Foxconn to cherish lives and stay strong.

The causes of the suicide cases are complicated, involving individual, company and social factors, Li Ping, secretary general of Shenzhen Municipal government, told a press conference.

The suicidal employees, mostly born in the 1980s or 1990s, had weak self-adjustment capability under emotional, living, or working pressures, and the situation became worse when millions of young workers gathered in Foxconn and various problems were overlapped, Li said.

They were away from their hometown, with little love and care from the society, which also attributed to these falls, according to Li.

The government will form a special team to strengthen the leadership of relevant work, and the police and other authorities will join the company to avoid any further tragedy, Li said.

Cultural, sports, medical and educational conditions in surrounding area will also be improved to ensure a sound living environment.

The government will also assist the company to complete its psychological counseling system, he added.
