I heard in a BBC World Service report that a Chinese entrepreneur has developed an app called "Mobile Job Hunting", that will connect workers to the factories that have jobs available. It will give them information on wage rates, overtime rates etc and will allow thm to check out other factories while still in employment. With over 800m mobile phones in China, and over 300m migrant workers, this has the possibility of creating a huge change in working conditions for the better. As factories have to compete with each other for available workers, conditions will have to improve in order to retain their workers.
here's a link to the report.
