Foxconn China plant closes after clash involving 2,000
A Foxconn plant in China closed on Monday after around 2,000 workers were involved in a fight. Foxconn, which manufactures electronics, including iPhones, said that the plant was closed for an investigation. The incident is the latest issue for the company, who has faced widespread criticism for its treatment of workers. The company says that the issues began after two employees fought, but other reports say that security guards beat a worker, leading to the uproar. About 40 people are thought to be injured.
