The strike has resulted in a lack of supply from Apple in some places across the world. Employees were offended when the company demanded them to work through National Days Holidays which began Monday.Tension has spread in other Foxconn manufacturing locations across all of China due to poor working conditions and wages. Foxconn plants have employed over a million in China producing majority of the worlds iphones and ipads. As of now this particular location remains paralyzed; no information has been released to when production will resume.
