So here we westerners go, forcing our "values" on another culture. These people are doing really well comparatively speaking and may resent our meddling with their paychecks. I think it will be okay with a very Asian fix. The workers will work their prescribed shift, change coveralls and resume work under a different employment designation.

When you look at how a lot of people in China live, doing dangerous farm and industrial work, working in a clean Foxconn factory is probably a plum job. But do we in the west give a damn about the steel mill worker who doesn't have proper protective equipment? Of course not.
