Abstract

From 2010 to 2012, Foxconn had a series of employee suicides, and then Foxconn’s serious illegal employment behaviour aroused social attention and heated discussions. As the main supplier of Apple, Foxconn’s illegal employment behaviour has also caused society and academia to think about how MNEs should assume the responsibility of protecting workers’ rights. Based on the Foxconn suicide incident and relying on Chinese relevant labour rights laws and regulations, the article analyses the theoretical basis for the protection of labour rights by MNEs. On this basis, as the host country, China puts forward specific suggestions on how to hold MNEs’ responsibility for labor protection.
