The absolute force as a top trendsetting computer, iPod, and iPhone maker Apple iPad today an interesting review of its component manufacturers in the Far East presented. For months, it has its business partners as regards the working conditions of the mostly subjected to South-East Asia employed people. Now, the company released its report on the results of the investigation. Therefore attests to the particular contract manufacturer Foxconn, which already last year due to a number of suicides in the Workforce was in the headlines, a positive development to the point (well, probably never was worse!). Apple worked out according to their own statements on the ground with his team suggest how the working conditions and psychological care can be improved by employees. As a result, in the works of Foxconn such as health centers have been established which are staffed around the clock. 
How to perform according to the report, have the "apple company" in the course of the investigation set to work with three suppliers completely after this, the working conditions of their workers are not at expected levels improved. Apple had the review of its suppliers exacerbated when the prevailing working conditions were broadly to the public. The contract manufacturers are typically does business in many IT companies, but Apple came mainly in the firing line because the company with its iPhone iPads and rides on a big wave of success. 
For on-site visits, for example, 91 children have been found, who worked in factories. At least one supplier knew that working with him and saw young people largely ignored this fact. The cooperation was therefore terminated. With several other companies were reported to have better Test methods and management methods developed to prevent future that minors get a job with some forged documents. Generally you should not point the finger only at Apple. For the complete mobile phone industry likes to use the cheap labor from a distance. On the local situation and conditions of work which looked like large get over it, not only in Asia. The main thing is true of the profit at the end. Even with the raw materials for the production of mobile phones are no better. Especially important for mobile phone production minerals come mostly from African conflict zones and used to finance bloody civil wars. It is also something cynically say: Our mobile phone world that we should always give the feeling of boundless freedom rests on the freedom of developing countries. Where is the word "developing country" here has become so now become very ambiguous! 
But last Sunday we had here in the potash district way back our traditional church layer. The theme of this year's service was "living and working in Africa and Germany!" Together with many miners and representatives of the African continent, we noticed an entertaining service on the legs. Then we went to the mountain parade in our community center to also traditionally become Tscherperfrühstück. Which was of course a little longer than the general breakfast time. Mountain folks because we 'are known to cross good people' who wear the leather against the A ... and drink booze! At least it is indeed so in the lyrics from the song Steiger!
There once was an employee 
Today I make it my time simply because I've read in the new IG-BCE member magazine "compact" a very interesting article which I would not hide from you. The editors of the compact may excuse the plagiarism, but here are the articles: ...
"Anti-social rental" "In the Federal Republic of flowers in human beings," the union post 1980th But are not meant as criminal gangs, but temporary. The abuses in this area were so serious that the then Labour Minister Herbert Ehrenberg agency recommended a ban on the construction industry. But even in the metal and chemical industry contract workers were employed. They were so good as lawlessness. In case of illness were not temporary workers sick pay, sickness was regarded by some companies, even as a refusal to work and had to follow the termination. Terminated was also so Christmas and holiday bonuses are not paid had. "Practices which should be indicated simply as criminal," the newspaper reviewed the IG Chemie-Papier-Keramik. But the fault lay not only with the rental companies, mainly benefited the company: the permanent staff were low and had to pay for the contract workers do not fare. With the ban on employment of temporary work in construction in 1982 improved the situation of temporary workers. But today - 30 years later - the trend is back in the other direction: temporary work is booming like never before. ...
So the original text in a compact magazine. Details can be found at: www.kompakt.igbce.de And where are we now exactly? For now about 1 million Temporary workers employed in the industry. Minimum wages are still in most industries, a taboo subject that you avoid like the plague. One could also say missed 30 years ago to prevent the seeds on the rise and now they are almost overgrown. Is time that the policy be developed jointly with the unions because once an economic blue corn in order to curtail the agency to size, namely peak order to cushion! Forget or what? But let's see what the union in 30 years on temporary writing like that. I shall be back here purely ;-)!!! 
The Culture tip, is concerned today with the times "Human evil". "Diary of the Apocalypse" by JL Bourne. A global epidemic has turned most people into mindless zombies that make now in search of human flesh, hunting the few survivors. The author has written the book as a diary recording what makes reading extremely exciting. Krass written as the world emerges from the perspective of the survivors. At first a kind of flu virus that breaks out in China, fast but a global pandemic. Even the attempt of disease due to atomic bombings to be her fails. The book really is "terribly fascinating," you realize that the author himself a U.S. Marine, every step in this world is precisely thought out and planned by the military. I myself enjoyed the book very well, so I awarded 5 of 5 "brains" and look forward to continuing that will appear in April. 
(annual meeting of the NPD) much from me for now. You know really why right-wing extremists are not afraid of zombies need? It's simple: just zombies chasing people with a brain!
Negative salary increases? 
Normally we are simple workers always hear when we want an industry hiring plans, or even increase their salaries. But in a certain industry, I'm unfortunately at the moment not quite as enthusiastic. For now nearly 2 years after the bankers on Wall Street, had almost put the whole financial world on fire, they are now once again among the top earners in the world. For, according to a survey by the Wall Street Journal, the 25 largest banks have paid there in 2010, a record sum of 135 billion dollars to their employees. That is nearly six percent more than in 2009, at that time were "only" paid $ 128,000,000,000. In the crisis year of 2008 the total had shrunk even briefly to 112 billion dollars. Today, however, deserves a single banker on average $ 141,000 again. have U.S. banks after the financial again jumped to their (!!!), thinned teams is increased gradually. Especially in Manhattan, there are now noticeable in the wave of new jobs: The rental vacancy rate is falling, rents are rising. So once again investing in real estate funds diligently! 
But be careful, because the wage gap yawns ever far apart on the employer. Experienced broker-dealer or specialist for mergers (which are the worst) scratch the million mark, simple employees of commercial banks have to make do with five-figure salaries. Goldman Sachs, for example, has each of its employees last year, on average 431 000 U.S. dollars paid, the worse-paid rival Morgan Stanley only $ 257,000. Yes it is almost an H4-Bank and that we must not again pump a little money inside? 
a little bit but seem to have learned, the banks, because the financial company under a third of their total earnings stuck in the pay packets of their employees. And unlike before the crisis, the banker will now be a larger part of their salary, or in equities, they may take some years to make money. In the past the way bonuses were for short-term gains of the day. The new regime is now hunting for bonuses and reduce the risk . Reduce You see, I hate to say yes again and again: "Everything will be fine" Then can now hold many times the value of a paper tiger, buy a Ferrari instead of his favorite box of Ferrero only ne, poor dogs! 
now for a long time but once again a film tip: "Tron - Legacy" nearly 30 years after the Disney cult film, will now show the continuation. Act at that computer effects for today's standards, ridiculously, the new strip is now so perfectly styled. The story itself comes into play on the first part and lead the fantastic world of computers again consistently, what can scream after a third part. The soundtrack itself is bombastic and holds the film not only, but in part it seems as if the movie was written around the music around. But see have in 3D, for Avatar of the first film which really reflects the 3D effect in cinema is justified! So I was talking of the great film, so the maximum score of 5 out of 5 "discs"! ...
See you ...
mobile, immobile and Playmobil 
The booming auto industry, currently, so much so that the supply industry, however, better known as automotive, the boom itself, but afterwards to take part throttle needs. Therefore, in this Monday, the Volkswagen plants in Wolfsburg and Emden stand still. The reason lies with the suppliers, because they have problems to meet strong demand. This is so great that in the production chain now checked in the short term. Main factory in Wolfsburg as well as the Emden, the employee may therefore next Monday to hear of unscheduled day off (paid or unpaid?). This is the VW-owned component plants, but also the external suppliers are given the opportunity to catch the back-order. Among others, those lacking complete engines. 
And how Volkswagen is currently fighting the entire automotive industry, with supply shortages. Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche also reflected current unusually critical. "The supply industry as a whole is very tense." Due to high demand, the capacity in the supply industry were very well utilized. Unlike the Stuttgart car maker Volkswagen has no problems so far, however, to keep production going. Even with BMW, there is currently no plans to stop production. although there is occasional shortages, but so far these could be bridged without difficulty, "said a spokesman for the Bavarian Motor Works. 
Now shows the evil shadow side of the 'oh so white managers preached me about the "Just in Time Management." It has been holding for years across, more and more Outsourced storage capacity, but also abolished all branches of production. The official reason: storage costs; Rumour has it but can also harass the suppliers over the years in product prices. Now is holding the rolling stock, always get stuck in the potholes. Perhaps one learns something from it, believe it not really. 'm Curious when the first car is: Designed in Gerany, assembled in China! Ne is only matter of time to bet? Check it out on the back of an Ipod, Iphone does Ipad because something might have long been! 
But there is good news. The Franconian toy manufacturer Playmobil in the rest of a family has is anything but mobility problems. EUR 507 million proceeds of the "puppet-builders" in the past year, an increase of seven percent. Playmobil thus has first exceeded the magic revenue threshold of 500 million €. For the toy companies from the Franks Zirnsdorf making it the eleventh successful year in a row. Around 100 million has Playmobil figures produced in 2010, a total of 2.4 billion already being produced were even male. With eight percent of the market is way behind Lego Playmobil number two on the German market. The proceeds of the Brandstätter Group, except for the Playmobil nor the plant pot manufacturer Lechuza is, 2010 amounted to nearly EUR 560 million (up 7.9 percent). The number of employees increased to 3250, it worked in 1780 in Germany. Congratulations to first, but success is also no wonder that even our Chancellor for free with their Playmobil hairstyle for years to make advertisement! ***
Oh by the way potters currently VW, so massively on 1 liter car - That would be once the first car was swallowed less like so many drivers themselves ...
