Foxconn Says 11 Injured in Large-Scale Fight at Chinese Campus
BEIJING—Foxconn Technology Co. said a large fight that broke out last week at one of its campuses injured 11 people, the latest in a series of confrontations among the company's workers that follows a summer of heightened unrest at Chinese factories.
The fight between two different groups initially broke out Thursday after workers gathered and drank alcohol to celebrate China's Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, according to Foxconn. The fight attracted a crowd of 300 to 400 people, the company said.
Two days later, members of the two groups again confronted and yelled at each other, the company said, adding that police quickly defused the situation.
As the world's largest contract manufacturer of electronics, Foxconn assembles devices for a host of international companies including Apple Inc., Nintendo Co., Sony Corp. and Hewlett-Packard Co.
