Sharath S. Srivatsa reports on the night of the unrest and the many violations of labour rules by Wistron</em></p><p style="text-align:justify">Anxiety writ large on their faces, Abhishek and Sunil walk into a small playground littered with garbage. Their attentive eyes scan the area to see if anyone other than The Hindu team is in the vicinity. It takes a lot of convincing for the duo, engineering graduates in their early 20s, to open up.</p><p style="text-align:justify">Abhishek and Sunil, who are from Kolar city in Karnataka, went to work until recently. Now they not only worry about whether they still have their jobs, but are also scarred by the violence that broke out on December 12 at their workplace, the Wistron Infocomm facility at Narasapura, about 20 km from Kolar, where workers assemble Apple&rsquo;s SE2 iPhones.</p><p style="text-align:justify"><em>The trigger</em></p><p style="text-align:justify">&ldquo;We did not expect violence though tensions had been simmering among the employees over lack of payment for overtime and problems with the punching machine that resulted in loss of pay,&rdquo; says Abhishek. The sudden increase in work hours was taking a toll on their health, he says. The anger reached a peak on December 12.</p><p style="text-align:justify">At around 5.45 a.m. on that day, when the night shift employees were getting ready to leave and the day shift employees had just walked in, an argument broke out between the contract employees and the executives of a staffing company that had hired them, recalls Sunil, who is employed in the Final Assembly Test and Pack (FATP) department. The night shift employees claimed that they had not received any information about their salaries being credited to their accounts (they had deposited their phones in lockers before getting into the assembly line). Those in the day shift had noted that discrepancies in overtime wages between what they were entitled to and what they had received for the months of October and November had continued into December as well.</p><p style="text-align:justify">Please <a href="https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/ground-zero-karnataka-wistron-iphone-plant-violence-the-making-of-a-tinderbox/article33419638.ece" title="https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/ground-zero-karnataka-wistron-iphone-plant-violence-the-making-of-a-tinderbox/article33419638.ece">click here</a> to read more.</p>

Sharath S. Srivatsa reports on the night of the unrest and the many violations of labour rules by Wistron</em></p><p style="text-align:justify">Anxiety writ large on their faces, Abhishek and Sunil walk into a small playground littered with garbage. Their attentive eyes scan the area to see if anyone other than The Hindu team is in the vicinity. It takes a lot of convincing for the duo, engineering graduates in their early 20s, to open up.</p><p style="text-align:justify">Abhishek and Sunil, who are from Kolar city in Karnataka, went to work until recently. Now they not only worry about whether they still have their jobs, but are also scarred by the violence that broke out on December 12 at their workplace, the Wistron Infocomm facility at Narasapura, about 20 km from Kolar, where workers assemble Apple&rsquo;s SE2 iPhones.</p><p style="text-align:justify"><em>The trigger</em></p><p style="text-align:justify">&ldquo;We did not expect violence though tensions had been simmering among the employees over lack of payment for overtime and problems with the punching machine that resulted in loss of pay,&rdquo; says Abhishek. The sudden increase in work hours was taking a toll on their health, he says. The anger reached a peak on December 12.</p><p style="text-align:justify">At around 5.45 a.m. on that day, when the night shift employees were getting ready to leave and the day shift employees had just walked in, an argument broke out between the contract employees and the executives of a staffing company that had hired them, recalls Sunil, who is employed in the Final Assembly Test and Pack (FATP) department. The night shift employees claimed that they had not received any information about their salaries being credited to their accounts (they had deposited their phones in lockers before getting into the assembly line). Those in the day shift had noted that discrepancies in overtime wages between what they were entitled to and what they had received for the months of October and November had continued into December as well.</p><p style="text-align:justify">Please <a href="https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/ground-zero-karnataka-wistron-iphone-plant-violence-the-making-of-a-tinderbox/article33419638.ece" title="https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/ground-zero-karnataka-wistron-iphone-plant-violence-the-making-of-a-tinderbox/article33419638.ece">click here</a> to read more.</p>

Sharath S. Srivatsa reports on the night of the unrest and the many violations of labour rules by Wistron</em></p><p style="text-align:justify">Anxiety writ large on their faces, Abhishek and Sunil walk into a small playground littered with garbage. Their attentive eyes scan the area to see if anyone other than The Hindu team is in the vicinity. It takes a lot of convincing for the duo, engineering graduates in their early 20s, to open up.</p><p style="text-align:justify">Abhishek and Sunil, who are from Kolar city in Karnataka, went to work until recently. Now they not only worry about whether they still have their jobs, but are also scarred by the violence that broke out on December 12 at their workplace, the Wistron Infocomm facility at Narasapura, about 20 km from Kolar, where workers assemble Apple&rsquo;s SE2 iPhones.</p><p style="text-align:justify"><em>The trigger</em></p><p style="text-align:justify">&ldquo;We did not expect violence though tensions had been simmering among the employees over lack of payment for overtime and problems with the punching machine that resulted in loss of pay,&rdquo; says Abhishek. The sudden increase in work hours was taking a toll on their health, he says. The anger reached a peak on December 12.</p><p style="text-align:justify">At around 5.45 a.m. on that day, when the night shift employees were getting ready to leave and the day shift employees had just walked in, an argument broke out between the contract employees and the executives of a staffing company that had hired them, recalls Sunil, who is employed in the Final Assembly Test and Pack (FATP) department. The night shift employees claimed that they had not received any information about their salaries being credited to their accounts (they had deposited their phones in lockers before getting into the assembly line). Those in the day shift had noted that discrepancies in overtime wages between what they were entitled to and what they had received for the months of October and November had continued into December as well.</p><p style="text-align:justify">Please <a href="https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/ground-zero-karnataka-wistron-iphone-plant-violence-the-making-of-a-tinderbox/article33419638.ece" title="https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/ground-zero-karnataka-wistron-iphone-plant-violence-the-making-of-a-tinderbox/article33419638.ece">click here</a> to read more.</p>

Ground Zero: iPhone plant violence -- The making of a tinderbox -Sharath S Srivatsa

Published on Dec 26, 2020   Modified on Dec 28, 2020

-The Hindu Long shifts and failure to resolve payment and overtime issues allegedly led to the violence by the workers in an iPhone factory in Narasapura earlier this month. Sharath S. Srivatsa reports on the night of the unrest and the many violations of labour rules by Wistron Anxiety writ large on their faces, Abhishek and Sunil walk into a small playground littered with garbage. Their attentive eyes scan the area to see if anyone other than The Hindu team is in the vicinity. It takes a lot of convincing for the duo, engineering graduates in their early 20s, to open up. Abhishek and Sunil, who are from Kolar city in Karnataka, went to work until recently. Now they not only worry about whether they still have their jobs, but are also scarred by the violence that broke out on December 12 at their workplace, the Wistron Infocomm facility at Narasapura, about 20 km from Kolar, where workers assemble Apple’s SE2 iPhones. The trigger “We did not expect violence though tensions had been simmering among the employees over lack of payment for overtime and problems with the punching machine that resulted in loss of pay,” says Abhishek. The sudden increase in work hours was taking a toll on their health, he says. The anger reached a peak on December 12. At around 5.45 a.m. on that day, when the night shift employees were getting ready to leave and the day shift employees had just walked in, an argument broke out between the contract employees and the executives of a staffing company that had hired them, recalls Sunil, who is employed in the Final Assembly Test and Pack (FATP) department. The night shift employees claimed that they had not received any information about their salaries being credited to their accounts (they had deposited their phones in lockers before getting into the assembly line). Those in the day shift had noted that discrepancies in overtime wages between what they were entitled to and what they had received for the months of October and November had continued into December as well.
