Violence erupts at Wistron s iPhone manufacturing plant near Bengaluru

updated: Dec 12 2020, 21:19 ist Violence erupted at Wistron s iPhone manufacturing plant at Narasapura in Kolar district near Bengaluru on Saturday over delayed salary payments.  The incident happened at 6.30 am on Saturday after nearly 2,000 workers came to the end of their night-shift. In video footage of the incident, workers could be seen smashing the offices of senior executives, the factory’s front lobby and flipping parked cars. Sources said that the incident was triggered by weeks of smouldering unrest over lack of payments. “The issue has been festering for about 8 to 10 weeks, during which employees were subject to arbitrary changes to their work contracts. About 90 per cent of the 8,000-strong workforce are contractual workers with a promised salary of Rs 16,000 per month for an 8-hour work shift. But over the last few months many were being paid only Rs 12,000 and were also told to work for up to 12 hours a day,” the source said.

Workers around the world must defend striking Indian Toyota workers from repressive government measures

Workers around the world must defend striking Indian Toyota workers from repressive government measures Workers in India and around the world must come to the defence of the Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) workers in the city of Bangaluru in southern India, who are defying a Karnataka state government back-to-work order and threats of mass arrests and firings. The TKM workers are opposing Toyota’s attempt to increase production by 25 percent and defying the government’s attempt to criminalize their struggle. Over 3,000 workers at two TKM plants launched a sit-in strike November 9 over the dismissal of a union leader who had sought to convey workers’ grievances to management. The following day, the management locked the workers out of the sprawling 432-acre TKM complex. TKM, which is 89 percent owned by Japanese car giant Toyota and 11 percent by Indian conglomerate Kirloskar, is demanding a 25 percent production increase to keep the Bidadi facility globally competitive.
