It's good that Apple has taken notice and will do its own investigation around what has happened

Without Riot and Attention by employees, this wouldn't have happened.

Kudos to employees.. This was the only way to get the management to get notice.

Contract manufacturer Wistron has confirmed reports that iPhone assembly was suspended following a riot at its plant in Bangalore, India. Video footage (below) shows people attacking assembly units, smashing windows, overturning cars, and starting a fire. Wistron puts the total cost of the damage at 4.38B rupees ($60M).

The violent protest, which took place on Saturday, was said to be over underpaid wages by Wistron. Multiple reports say that the riot involved almost 2,000 workers, with more than 100 of them arrested by police …

 

The Times of India reports.

A majority of the nearly 2,000 employees, who were exiting the facility after completing their night-shift, went on rampage destroying the company’s furniture, assembly units and even attempted to set fire to vehicles. Senior police officers along with additional personnel from Kolar district have rushed to the spot.

Though Wistron is yet to comment on the violence, sources told The Times of India that the employee unrest was triggered by salary remittances made to them. Sources said the employees were angry that the company was not paying the amount that was promised to them at the time of joining.

“While an engineering graduate was promised Rs 21,000 per month, his/her salary had reduced to Rs 16,000 and, subsequently, to Rs 12,000 in the recent months. Non-engineering graduates’ monthly salary had reduced to Rs 8,000. The salary amount being credited to our accounts have been reducing and it was frustrating to see this,” an employee alleged.

On Friday night, the employees started discussing about their salaries on their floors and some alleged that they had received only low as as RS 500 in their bank accounts. The anger turned into violence by the time the shift ended, the employee added.

Several Twitter accounts have video of the event.

Good job indian

Apple has channels for reporting such inappropriate practices by management. They could have tried these options before going on a rampage mode.  Evidently this situation is not the outcome of one mismanagement but probably many ones and have been happening for few months.

Its Apple that is probably the culprit here. this bad pr would make sure they won't do such stunts in future.

Apple is famous for underpaying its contractors, and have had several such incidents in China too.
