Apple’s employees in Shanghai lament closed-loop manufacturing
China continues to implement a “zero tolerance” policy against the coronavirus epidemic. As such, life comes to a standstill in the areas where the case is experienced. So much so that this policy negatively affects many technology production companies and causes reactions. On the other hand, this policy of China has not only been the focus of criticism of large companies.
Workers at Apple’s Quanta factory in Shanghai continued their partial work at the factory for a while, called “Closed loop production”, due to its “zero tolerance” policy. However, dissatisfaction with the epidemic prevention measures implemented caused a revolt by the workers.
Shanghai Dafeng Electronics in Shanghai Quanta faced workers’ revolt on Thursday evening, 5th. So much so that the workers, who had been closed for a while, wanted to go out by overcoming the barricades set up to meet their needs. The reaction to the “closed loop production” policy in the country continues to grow.
Like Apple, Tesla applied for “closed loop production” but did not get the desired result. On the other hand, at the Shanghai Dafeng Electronics factory in Quanta, Apple was producing the MacBook Pro. The effect of the riots on production was one of the subjects that the company observed with interest.
