Foxconn Workers Strike Over iPhone 5

ITWorld reports 3 to 4,000 Foxconn workers have gone on strike over stricter quality control and having to work through a Chinese holiday:
"According to workers, multiple iPhone 5 production lines from various factory buildings were in a state of paralysis for the entire day," China Labor Watch said. It also reported that quality-control inspectors were attacked.
Foxconn has had labor problems in the past, from worker suicides to audits. Foxconn makes components for a number of large tech companies.
