Bengaluru: After initially giving a clean chit to Taiwan-headquartered Wistron, which manufactures iPhones at a facility near Bengaluru, the Karnataka government has done a U-turn and blamed the company for an overtime recording mess.
In a letter to the Union Labour Department, which had demanded an explanation after the Prime Minister himself expressed concern over the violence which brought a black mark on Karnataka as an investment friendly state, the government said there was a “technical malfunction” in the system of recording employees’ attendance which resulted in employees putting in four extra hours per day.
