	As Millions Buy iPhone 5, Chinese Workers at Apple Plant Foxconn Protest Work Conditions DemocracyNow.org - As consumers worldwide flood Apple Stores to buy the new iPhone 5, we look at why thousands of Chinese workers at a key Apple manufacturing plant walked off the job last week. The group China Labor Watch says up to 4000 Foxconn workers walked off the job in protest of new employee demands on hours and product quality. Foxconn initially denied that a strike was taking place, but later said a small number of workers had participated in a dispute that was quickly resolved. We're joined by Li Qiang, the founder and executive director of China Labor Watch.
