Yeah, I reported on this previously:

iPhone Chinese partner Foxconn "Suicide Cluster" claims another victim

BTW, the next paragraph of the article (not quoted on your linked page) says:

"Woo said it was common for workers to have 80 hours a month of overtime, but Foxconn was aiming to reduce the workload and become the first company in the industry to keep overtime to a maximum of 36 hours a month – as required by Chinese law."

A law no one is enforcing, apparently.
