March 30 (Bloomberg) — Foxconn Technology Group workers would rather boost their salaries, bonuses and training before cutting hours or improving conditions, according to an audit of Apple Inc.’s biggest manufacturer.

When asked which changes they’d make first, 60 percent said they would raise salaries and 42 percent said they would increase bonuses or living allowances.Full Story: Foxconn workers would rather get salary boost than reduced hours
