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.

In response to Anushka’s tension-filled expression, RCB supporters and fans said they could identify with it. A fan of the RCB posted a video of Anushka from the stands on Instagram. The actor wore blue jeans and a striped shirt, and she had a serious expression on her face. She was talking with other RCB fans who appeared to be disappointed in the team’s defeat.
