That's the question I would have too. I assume apple pays for devices, not necessarily time.
Which means that we see the results, what motivated it, but we don't know what apple paid for.
People can be mad at apple for not having enough scrutiny into their supply chain. From similar articles, it seems foxconn doesn't pay very well, but it seems to match the promised levels here. Now I don't know what cost of living is between those parts of China and India, so that's a big caveat.
But it sort of torpedoes the outrage to me if the failure mode isn't actually known. You can lament the salaries, but the fact is we don't know what apple was paying for or what wistron's operations were. We just know there were riots.
