India iPhone Plant Reopens With Better Dorms After Women-Led Protes

The Sriperumbudur-based iPhone manufacturing facility run by Apple supplier, Foxconn, will partially reopen on Wednesday, three weeks after it was shut down in the wake of protests by its employees – mostly women.

The company is currently conducting COVID-19 tests for women returning to work at the facility. 

In December, around 4,000 women took to the streets after 250 Foxconn workers living in the facility’s dormitories suffered food poisoning, with some having to be hospitalised.

The women were demanding better facilities, including clean sanitation and water. Reports said many women avoided using toilets at the dormitories and instead waited for their shift to begin to use the washrooms at the workplace. They also complained of cramped living quarters at the dorms.

After the protests exposed labour conditions at Foxconn, Apple, which recently hit $3 trillion valuation, put its contractor on probation, demanding rapid action.

In a statement shortly after the controversy began, Apple said: “We will ensure our strict standards are met before the facility reopens. We will continue to monitor conditions closely.”

The Tamil Nadu government also told Foxconn to improve amenities and obtain the collector’s approval before reopening. In a statement, Hon Hai Precision Industry, which trades as Foxconn Technology Group, said: “It’s taken corrective action, with a rigorous monitoring system to allow workers to raise concerns, even anonymously.

“We continue to support our employees and thank them for their patience as we work through the improvements,” it added.

More details

Amid box office concerns for the film, a pirated version of Game Changer was allegedly aired on a local TV channel and shown in buses. Screenshots of the same surfaced on X, which caught the attention of producer Sreenivas Kumar. He took to his X account to demand strict action on it.

A few days ago, the makers of the film had filed a complaint against individuals for allegedly leaking a pirated version of the film online. The complaint also states that before the film’s release, the producers and a few team members were threatened through social media and messaging platforms like WhatsApp, wherein the same alleged pirates demanded money from producers and threatened to leak the pirated version if their demands were not fulfilled.

Game Changer is directed by Shankar and stars Ram Charan, Kiara Advani, and SJ Suryah. The film has also been released in Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.
