I dont see whats wrong with a performance tests.most work places make you pass a medical or some form of testing before you can get a job to make sure you can do the job.some even make you do a yearly test.Some jobs even had 3monthly drug tests or random on the spot drug tests.

the people in question already have/had the jobs so why the performance test now, 1)its an elite selection some people to better on the line than most gets the 30% increase. 2) a classic media fallout maneuver if there ever was one.

Since when were they treating anyone as good as a dog? They are still working 16 hours a day, 7 days a week just to make $10 a day...assuming they pass a test that is designed to make everyone fail.

Plus, they completely ignored the social issues leading to suicide...let us remember that their first attempt to fix the problem was to install nets below the windows in case someone jumped...they don't care about the problem; only the symptom.
