Here’s how much pay Foxconn is offering to protestors to leave “iPhone city”

A day after violent protests broke out in Foxconn’s iPhone assembly factory in Zhengzhou, China, the Taiwanese company has reportedly offered a settlement sum in an attempt to put an end to the protests that saw protesting employees and authorities clashing in the facility. The Apple supplier sent a text message to workers via its human resources department, CNN reports.

Foxconn has offered to pay newly-recruited workers CNY 10,000 (approximately Rs 1,14,000) to quit and leave the iPhone factory. The sum is reported to be workers’ one or two months of wages. CNN says that the message urged workers to return to their dormitories. It promised to pay them CNY 8,000 (approximately Rs 91,500) if they agreed to quit Foxconn. The remaining CNY 2,000 (approximately Rs 22,900) would be given after they board buses to leave the site.
