ABC visits Foxconn factories for a first-hand look at working conditions

On Tuesday night, ABC will broadcast a special Nightline episode filmed at Foxconn's facilities in Shenzhen and Chengdu, China, exploring the working conditions at the company's factories. Overtime opportunities and pay are scarce, resulting in many people coming and going, however Foxconn jobs remain highly sought after. ABC shows masses of people gathered outside Foxconn's plant, looking to get a job inside.

While acknowledging that Foxconn, China's biggest employer after the country's government, produces consumer electronics for all sorts of brands — including Sony, Dell, HP, Motorola, and Microsoft — ABC's focus seems firmly fixed on Apple's relationship with Foxconn, which does appear to be more active than the other companies.
