Wistron- Apple’s supplier, has reportedly resumed its production at India’s facility ransacked by angry workers a few months ago protesting unpaid wages.
In December last year, workers who hadn’t been paid for a few months in a row destroyed furniture and equipment at the factory in a bid to protest Wistron’s unfair treatment.
At first, Wistron said people involving in the incident had an unclear intention and were outsiders breaking into the facility. However, according to local media, among the 2,000 people, many were Wistron’s employees who hadn’t been paid for four months all while being forced to pull extra shifts.

Wistron was then placed on probation while Apple conducted an audit which concluded that the company had violated the Cupertino tech giant’s "Supplier Code of Conduct."
Apple announced that Wistron’s failure at working hour management had led to delays in payment for workers in October and November 2020.
An addition of 20,000 more workers was about to be hired to keep up with iPhone SE production but the plan was delayed after Apple said no more businesses would be awarded to Wistron until the issue of poor treatment was addressed.

It was reported recently that Wistron had been collaborating with auditors in the last three months to ensure that the plant had the needed system to resume production.
In February, Apple said workers at the factory would receive training to make sure they understand their rights and know how to raise questions. Wistron said recently that wages had been paid properly and new salary and recruitment systems had been implemented so that everyone could get the correct salary as well as documentation.
