The Dehumanization of Young Workers Producing Our Computer Keyboard

[eater]

I just spotted this.

"The workers are underpaid, cheated out of their wages, forced into overtime, subjected to brainwashing, and subjected to unsafe working conditions and denied medical assistance when they're injured. Meitai makes keyboards for Lenovo, Microsoft, HP and others."

I wonder if that is common in the industry or if better keyboards are made under more humane conditions.

Just for the record, it's being discussed here: http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?t=1517

And, at least Unicomp's boards are produced in the US.
