Remember what happened before the 2012 report?

The 2010 suicides prompted 20 Chinese universities to compile an 83-page report on Foxconn, which they described as a "labor camp". Interviews of 1,800 Foxconn workers at 12 factories found evidence of illegal overtime and failure to report accidents. The report also criticized Foxconn's management style, which it called inhumane and abusive. Additionally, long working hours, discrimination towards Mainland Chinese workers by their Taiwanese coworkers, and a lack of working relationships were all presented as potential problems in the university report.

Yeah the report I mentioned found long work hours, health and safety, abusive management to be an issue. Foxcon seems to have addressed a lot of the issues brought up in that report. Even if they didn't its still not slavery or not anything remotely similar.
