Foxconn Technology Group held a rally Wednesday for its workers to raise their morale at its Shenzhen complex.
Titled "Love Your Life, Love Your Family", the motivational rally was attended by more than 20,000 workers at the complex, which the company hoped would strengthen cohesion among workers and encourage them to treasure life, said Chen Peng, chairman of the company's labor union.
The company, which makes high-tech products for top brands, including the Apple iPhones, came under fire after more than 10 workers committed suicide by jumping from factory and dormitory buildings since 2009. The suicides were blamed on the company's strict management of employees.
Altogether, 50,000 workers took part in Wednesday's rallies, which were also held in other Foxconn facilities across China.
