Before this month, workers at a Indian iPhone maker, Wistron, dove into violent protests that brought around $2 million in compensation. Workers said they were not being paid what they had been sworn, and they began beating up the area at retaliation. Apple said it could explore. This weekend, Apple came into a preliminary decision. In an announcement (available in full in the HindustanTimes) Apple stated that it discovered”offenses of the Supplier Code of Conduct” and it would place Wistron on”probation”
Apple’s findings up the employee complaints, which stated Wistron was not paying the wages it asserted when it hired employees. Apple’s take on the problem stated,”Our preliminary findings suggest violations of the Supplier Code of Conduct by failing to execute appropriate working hour control procedures. This resulted in payment waits for some employees in October and November.”
The business continues:”We’ve put Wistron on Legislation and also they won’t obtain any new company from Apple until they finish corrective actions. Apple workers, together with independent auditors, will track their own progress. Our principal purpose is to make certain each of the employees are treated with respect and dignity, and entirely compensated immediately.”
