Concerns increased in early 2012 by an article published in The New York Times in October 2011.[121] It reported evidences that substantiated some of the criticisms. The 2012 audit commissioned by Apple Inc. and performed by the Fair Labor Association found that workers were routinely subjected to inhumane bouts of overtime of up to 34 hours without an increase in pay and suggested that debilitating workplace accidents and suicides may be common.[122][123] A Hong Kong non-profit organisation, Students and Scholars Against Corporate Misbehaviour, has written numerous negative reports on Foxconn's treatment of its employees, such as in 2010 and 2011.[124] These typically find far worse conditions than the 2012 Fair Labour Association audit did,[125] but they rely on a far smaller number of employee informants, circa 100 to 170.[126] The Fair Labor Association audit in 2012 used interviews with 35,000 Foxconn employees.[122]
