Foxconn isn't exactly the first name that springs to mind when you think of great employee relations, and is if to cement that reputation the company is planning on replacing a part of its workforce with robots. To add insult to injury the news was apparently delivered by Hon Hai (the company that owns Foxconn) chairman Terry Gou at an employee dance. That sounds like a really classy move.
Foxconn currently employees around 1.2 million people whilst its robotic workforce totals a rather meagre 10,000 by comparison. However, by next year the number of robots will have increased to around 300,000 and by 2014 that figure is expected to have risen to a cool million. What isn't as clear is how many of Foxconn's human workforce are going to loose their jobs in favour of its robotic workforce.
