Violence in Wistron iPhone plant at Karnataka

Wistron, the Taiwanese iPhone maker thinking about whether it should continue its development plans in India or not. As per the report, some of the workers ransacked the Karnataka facility. Company insiders are suspecting this incident as a planned conspiracy to rob the plant. This firm was situated in the Kolar district. The iPhone manufacturing plant had previously informed that they would hire 25,000 employees at the end of next year. But now this seems uncertain.

The firm has nearly 12,000 employees, whereas only 1,200 are permanent employees, and the rest were hired on a contractual basis. Recently the third-party iPhone manufacturer had announced an investment to increase the manufacturing capacity in Karnataka.

The firm said “We are deeply shocked by the events at our Narasapura facility. We follow the law and are supporting the authorities with their investigation. The safety and wellbeing of our team members are always our top priority.”

“We have teams on the ground and immediately launched an investigation at Wistron’s Narasapura facility in India. Our teams are in touch with local authorities, and we’re offering our full support to their probe,” said Apple.

According to some inside sources, the company refused many due payments of several employees, who didn’t work every day demanded full salaries and advance overtime dues. Some employees got into an argument about the wages with the HR team on Friday night. At that time, the company assured them to pay their salaries by Monday morning. After a few hours, a group of people came into the place with sticks & rods and started to destroy the property.

It was reported that the district administration reacted very slowly and also the police reached the spot after a few hours of the rampage started. The state government points this as a bad light spotting on the state.
