Just a few days ago, workers from the Wistron Infocomm, company that produces the iPhone of Apple, broke into a factory in the India to loot the place arguing labor abuse and lack of payments for 4 months. Now Apple has given you an ultimatum.
According to reports from Reuters and Bloomberg, those of Cupertino have been “paroled” to the Taiwanese company Wistron for this event.
Under this threat, the company you will not be able to receive any new business from Apple until you resolve your situation with your employees.
Wistron It has admitted not meeting payments, while the Indian government has found serious labor violations in its preliminary investigation: They are paying wages in a “cut” way and are forcing people to work overtime.
According to reports (collected by The Verge), the investigation also reveals that 8,500 of the 10,500 workers at the Wistron factory were contractors instead of full-time employees, and that, to begin with, the plant may have only been licensed for 5,000 workers.
Wistron issued an apology, saying it is “improving its processes and restructuring our teams to ensure these problems do not reoccur.”
