Alexa, can you tell me how many Chinese kids were forced into working nights to build this unit?

The report found schools providing interns to work night shifts at a Hengyang Foxconn plant, producing Amazon devices.

According to the report, kids who declined compulsory overtime were told by their teachers that it would affect their graduation from school.

Foxconn - which also assembles components for Apple devices, among others - peak period begins in July.

The report claimed it has hired 1,581 pupils from local technical colleges and is looking for more.

The pupils are said to be paid $248 a month to work 10 hours a day, six days a week.

Teachers, who get a $425 bonus from Foxconn, work with factory managers to pressure the pupils into working overtime and night shifts.
