iPhone 5鄭州工廠罷工事件真相
|
????我們先前說過，事情的真相可能介于兩者之間。聽起來，似乎是蘋果公司正在試圖加快生產iPhone 5的進度，滿足市場需求，同時又不愿降低嚴苛的質量標準，可這并不容易。 ????但與此同時，富士康iPhone生產線爆發的有組織的勞工活動凸顯出了其他更深層次的問題。對于工業化國家的電子產品制造商們來說，不僅僅是蘋果，還包括微軟（Microsoft）、惠普（Hewlett Packard）、戴爾（DELL）、亞馬遜（Amazon）、索尼（Sony），甚至三星（Samsung）在內，亞洲國家為他們源源不斷提供逆來順受的廉價勞動力的好日子，或許就要到頭了。 ????套用溫斯頓?丘吉爾的名言，或許現在還沒到結束的時候，甚至連結束的序幕都算不上，相反，它可能只是序幕的一個尾聲。 ????譯者：劉進龍/喬樹靜 |
????As we say, the truth of what happened probably lies somewhere between the two accounts. It sounds like Apple was trying to produce iPhone 5s fast enough to meet demand without compromising its exacting quality standards, which can't be easy. ????But the fact that there was any organized labor activity on Foxconn's iPhone assembly line suggests that deeper forces are at play. The days that electronics manufacturers from industrialized countries -- not just Apple (AAPL), but Microsoft (MSFT), Hewlett Packard (HPQ), DELL (DELL), Amazon (AMZN), Sony (SNE) and even Samsung -- can count on boundless supplies of cheap, compliant Asian factory workers may be numbered. ????To paraphrase Winston Churchill, this may not be the end, or even the beginning of the end, but it may, perhaps, be the end of the beginning. |
