Workers working with a closed circuit system within the scope of Covid-19 measures protested the factory management due to quarantine conditions and non-payment of premiums.Foxconn accepted responsibility
Officials intervened with tear gas against the demonstrators. Ignoring the metal barriers placed around the factory to enforce quarantine rules, the protesters said these conditions were causing difficulties and disruptions.
Employees in remote villages and towns are currently trying to walk home by road. Subcontractor Foxconn, which is responsible for the management of this factory, which employs approximately 300,000 people, offered more salaries and more bonuses to the workers, but these promises have not yet been fulfilled.
The subcontractor company, which promised the workers a bonus of $ 1400 if the protests were abandoned, is extremely uncomfortable with the beating of the workers who rebelled. According to the relevant news of Sputnik, Foxconn said the following about this issue:“Bounties planned to be paid to hired workers were miscalculated due to a technical error. Employees’ concerns will be addressed. Their reasonable requests will be honored. We apologize for the input error in the computer system. Payments will be made in accordance with agreements and recruitment announcements.”
