How the Indian dream of working in ‘iPhone company’ went wrong at Wistron [Mint, New Delhi]
Dec. 16—For contract workers at Taiwanese manufacturing giant Wistron, the dream of working at the “iPhone company” has soured since violence broke at the site following allegations of violation in wage payments and work hours.
The state police have so far picked up over 150 contract workers and looking for 5,000 more who were allegedly involved in the incident that led to the closure of the manufacturing unit at Narasapura, about 60 km from Bengaluru.
“For months now, we worked hard, woke up at 4 am to reach the pick-up point on time and toiled for 12 hours everyday, as this was a dream to build a career…to settle down,” said a contract employee, requesting anonymity.
