In addition, they agree that if they do commit suicide, their families will only seek minimal damages.
A Sacom officials said that workers at the plant which manufactures Apple's iPhone and iPad "work excessive overtime for a salary they can hardly live on and are inhumanely treated." She added, "Conditions are harsh and they don't have a social life. Their life is just working in a factory and that is it."
