Reporters admitted for the first time at Pegatron facilities

An exclusive report from the Pegatron iPhone Plant located in China via Bloomberg was released over the weekend. The company Apple in recent years has joined a little more in terms of its iPhone assembly contracts with this company, which has allowed it to diversify its supply chain.

This report basically describes the strength of the work management of this factory, the monitoring of the hours through automated systems as well as dealing with labor issues, such as overtime.

Apple and Pegatron try to deny claims of employees

According to some data, it has been known that Pegatron workers are not entirely happy with the company's compliance with them.

Bloomberg interviewed one of the workers and stated that most of them prefer the payment of overtime, since wages are very low. However, the new established policies have applied a limit on overtime so that workers are not able to obtain additional income.

The workers wanted to know how much they earned, but for the factory, opening the payroll was a difficult subject to deal with, since they feared the reaction of the employees and the way in which they would manage their activities. During the month of October, an external control agency assured that the vast majority of the employees of this factory worked for more than sixty hours a week.

By allowing a report to be carried out within the company it is a clear sign that Apple and Pegatron are trying to deny these claims and in turn demonstrate that the application of good labor standards is proactive.

It is the first time that the factory allows the press to pass through its facilities and photograph it, where approximately 50 thousand people work on the ground.

Employees must go through metal detectors to verify that they do not carry any hidden photography equipment, this is done to prevent leaks of unpublished Apple products such as those of the next iPhone.
