Massive and violent protests by workers at Foxconn’s main iPhone plant over security measures to protect against the COVID-19 outbreak, writes Bloomberg.
Early in the morning, employees of the Foxconn factory in Zhengzhou left their dormitories and penetrated the guards (they lie in white uniforms).
The number of guards exceeded the number of workers, so the protest was quickly raised. At the same time, the guards beat people lying on the ground with batons.
An employee protest over the spread of COVID-19 inside the plant, which is currently in a closed loop, and also due to non-payment of wages. Several workers were injured, and after the riot, the police arrived at Foxconn.
It is also reported that angry workers are busy with one of the company’s managers in a conference room to express dissatisfaction and confirm the validity of their COVID-19 test results. When exactly this occurs is not specified.
I’m really afraid of this place, now we can all be infected with COVID.
