Chinese workers are forced to work 12-hour days, mostly standing, to assemble Apple's cheap new iPhone, the iPhone 5C, according to a new report from China Labor Watch, the workers' rights watchdog.
The report was created by under cover workers at Jabil Circuit in Wuxi, China. They found workers who put in 11-hour shifts with only 30 minute breaks to eat. Much of that break time was taken up by standing in security lines, so staff had only 5 minutes to eat.
The workers, who are paid around $245 a month, live in crowded, dirty dorms. As the factory runs 24 hours a day, they sleep in shifts, up to eight to a room. The conditions are similar to those endured by workers putting together the new iPhone 5S, which is expected to be unveiled on Sept. 10.
