Suicide-hit Foxconn hands over staff domitories


TAIPEI (Reuters) - Electronics maker Foxconn Technologies, under fire for its working practices after a string of worker suicides, will sign over management of staff dormitories at its complexes in Shenzhen, southern China, to other companies, it said on Friday.

Ten suicides this year at the sprawling manufacturing base has brought intense scrutiny of Taiwan's Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd, the owner of Foxconn, which makes the iPhone and other products for Apple and also counts Dell and Hewlett-Packard among its clients.
