Reuters news on January 10, Indian local government officials and lawmakers said that Apple supplier Foxconn will reopen the iPhone manufacturing plant in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu on Wednesday.
On December 18, 2021, the Foxconn plant was forced to close after protests sparked by food poisoning among 250 workers. Since then, Apple has found that some of the factory's dormitories and restaurants do not meet the required standards and put it under observation.
Foxconn said in a statement on Monday: "We have implemented a series of corrective actions to ensure this does not happen again and have implemented a strict monitoring system to ensure workers can raise any concerns they may have, including expressing them in anonymity." ”
Apple said the plant continues to be under observation, and the company will continue to monitor the condition of workers' dormitories and canteens with independent auditors, "once we determine that each dormitory and dining area meets the standards, workers will begin to gradually return to work."
A person familiar with the matter said that the plant will resume production on Wednesday, with no more than 100 employees, and it may take more than 2 months to resume full production.
