Trade union explains unrest at phone manufacturing unit in Narasapura
All India Central Council of Trade Unions (AICCTU) on Monday said their study into the unrest among employees at Wistron and the ransacking that followed were the result of “serious injustice and exploitation” employees suffered at work.
Wistron is a multinational corporation from Taiwan that assembles iPhones at its factory at Narasapura Industrial Estate in Kolar district
AICCTU, in its fact-finding report, states that about 10,000 of Wistron’s employees are contract workers. Their job interviews were done by Wistron officials and they report to executives of the company. However, their job letters say they are being appointed by certain contractors, and half a dozen contractors are involved with Wistron, the report added.
