Quality control inspectors strike

China Labor Watch reported that “Three to four thousand” Foxconn workers who work at iPhone 5 production plant in Zhengzhou stopped working on October 5, 2012. Since many iPhone 5 users complain the coating chipping off of iPhone 5, Apple has imposed a stricter quality standard on their products. During the national vacation, some quality control inspectors got hit by workers whose products were below the standard, but the administration of the plant did not responded the conflicts in time. On the other hand, quality control inspectors felt that they did not get enough training to adapt for the new standard. Finally they chose to strike.^{[clarification needed]} Foxconn spokesman admit the problem of the micromanagement, but he said that there were only 300 to 400 workers absent and the conflicts did not influence the production at all
