In San Jeronimo, Chihuahua, on the outskirts of Ciudad Juárez, a beige monolith of placid architecture hovers over the newly reconstructed US-Mexico border wall. Looking like a mix between a prison and a city built entirely of suburban Walmarts, this is in fact Foxconn's largest assembly plant at the US-Mexico Border; a shrine of sorts to over fifty-five years of low-cost export manufacturing in the region. And in 2010, it was where a decade of labor struggle was about begin. On a cold night in February 2010, around three hundred night workers at Foxconn's San Jeronimo factory on the outskirts of Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, anxiously waited for company buses to finally deliver them home after a long shift. Soon enough however, managers filed out of the factory to inform the workers that the due to technical issues, the buses were not coming. According to worker accounts, the managers explained that the best thing these workers could do was work an extra shift, and wait for the buses to arrive later in the morning. Realizing that they were essentially being held against their will at the remote factory, and perhaps fueled by recent lay-offs on the assembly line and consistent pressure to work extra shifts, anger erupted in the crowd. By the end of the night, workers had set fire to the cafeteria, smashed the managers’ dormitory windows, and collided more than once with security guards. Days later, despite Foxconn's assurance to the press that there would be no reprisal, around 75 night-shift workers were identified and fired from the company.

在奇瓦瓦州奇瓦瓦州圣杰罗尼莫市，华雷斯城郊外，一座米色的波西米亚风情整洁的建筑盘旋在新近重建的美墨边界墙上。看起来就像监狱和完全由沃尔玛斯郊区建造的城市之间的混合体，实际上，这是富士康在美墨边境最大的组装厂。在该地区超过五十五年的低成本出口制造业的神殿。而在2010年，这是十年的劳工斗争即将开始的地方。在2010年2月的一个寒冷的夜晚，在墨西哥城华雷斯市郊富士康的San Jeronimo工厂里，大约三百名夜班工人焦急地等待着公司的大班车，经过长时间的轮班后才最终将他们送回家。然而，经理很快就离开工厂通知工人，由于技术问题，公共汽车没有来。根据工人的帐目，经理们解释说，这些工人可以做的最好的事情是多做一次轮班，并等公共汽车在早晨的晚些时候到达。意识到他们实际上是在遥远的工厂被他们的意志所束缚，也许是由于最近在装配线上的裁员以及持续进行额外轮班的压力加剧了，人群中爆发了愤怒。到深夜，工人们已经放火烧自助餐厅，砸碎了经理的宿舍窗户，并与保安人员发生了多次碰撞。几天后，尽管富士康向媒体保证不会进行报复，但仍确认了约75名夜班工人，并从公司解雇了他们。并等着公交车在早晨的晚些时候到达。意识到他们实际上是在遥远的工厂被他们的意志所束缚，也许是由于最近在装配线上的裁员以及持续进行额外轮班的压力加剧了，人群中爆发了愤怒。到深夜，工人们已经放火烧自助餐厅，砸碎了经理的宿舍窗户，并与保安人员发生了多次碰撞。几天后，尽管富士康向媒体保证不会进行报复，但仍确认了约75名夜班工人，并从公司解雇了他们。并等着公交车在早晨的晚些时候到达。意识到他们实际上是在遥远的工厂被他们的意志所束缚，也许是由于最近在装配线上的裁员以及持续进行额外轮班的压力加剧了，人群中爆发了愤怒。到深夜，工人们已经放火烧自助餐厅，砸碎了经理的宿舍窗户，并与保安人员发生了多次碰撞。几天后，尽管富士康向媒体保证不会进行报复，但仍确认了约75名夜班工人，并从公司解雇了他们。到深夜，工人们已经放火烧自助餐厅，砸碎了经理的宿舍窗户，并与保安人员发生了多次碰撞。几天后，尽管富士康向媒体保证不会进行报复，但仍确认了约75名夜班工人，并从公司解雇了他们。到深夜，工人们已经放火烧自助餐厅，砸碎了经理的宿舍窗户，并与保安人员发生了多次碰撞。几天后，尽管富士康向媒体保证不会进行报复，但仍确认了约75名夜班工人，并从公司解雇了他们。
