Fairphone video, "For each Fairphone produced, we pay a living wage bonus."

Hmm...this is quite a bit different than paying a living wage. The "For each" implies piecework, which was fought against by unions as unfair. "a living wage bonus" works hand in hand with piecework. i.e., you don't make a living wage if your production falters. Typical reasons production falters are illness, personal capacity (mental or physical variations from the average), and external factors.

I don't know if this makes Fairphone a better or worse employer than the average in whatever country the phones are made. It's always up to the people in the country to determine how they want to be treated.
