More than 20,000 employees of Foxconn's largest plant left the enterprise

More than 20,000 employees at Foxconn's largest factory in Zhengzhou have left the factory.

Employee dissatisfaction was caused by problems withwages and the need to live in the same dormitory with employees sick with Covid 19. As a result, discontent turned into protests, which led to clashes with the police. Foxconn, Apple's largest smartphone supplier, has been forced to apologize and has promised to pay 10,000 yuan ($1,400) to employees who leave the company. The company cited a technical error when explaining payment issues. Experts note that the situation may adversely affect the implementation of Foxconn's production plans for its largest customer, Apple, and will likely lead to a reduction in the production of iPhone smartphones in anticipation of the New Year sales. Foxconn was expected to return to full operations by the end of November, but that deadline has now been pushed back to a later date.
