SHORTER THAN IN PRE PANDEMIC

WISH LIST FOR SOMEBODY, YOU KNOW
, MAYBE EVEN YOURSELF. YOU COULD
BE OUT OF LOCK CHINA IS FACING
NEW COVID CHALLENGES AND
OUTRAGED WORKERS. IT’S A
COMBINATION THAT COULD HAVE A
BIG IMPACT RIGHT HERE IN THE US
OSBORNE IN THE NEWSROOM FOR US
WITH AN UPDATE ON SOME CHAOTIC
CONDITIONS IN CHINA, PAM GOOD
AFTERNOON. IT’S BEEN A PERFECTLY
HORRIBLE STORM OF COVID 19 CASES
AND WORKERS FRUSTRATED WITH
RESTRICTIONS AND PROMISES OF
BONUSES THAT WERE NOT HONORED.
IT’S LED TO VIOLENT
CONFRONTATIONS AT FOXCONN.
THAT’S THE BIGGEST IPHONE PLANT
IN CHINA. THE FACTORY HAS BEEN
STRUGGLING TO FIND WORKERS IN
THE MIDDLE OF A COVID OUTBREAK,
PROMISING ATTRACTIVE BONUSES. IS
TO KEEP NEW HIRES. TO GET NEW
HIRES RATHER TO KEEP THE PLACE
RUNNING. WHILE SOME EMPLOYEES
SAID THOSE PROMISES WEREN’T
HONORED, LEADING TO A VIOLENT
PROTESTS AT THE CENTRAL, THE
PLANT, WHICH IS LOCATED IN
CENTRAL CHINA, ISSUED A
STATEMENT APOLOGIZING AND BLAMED
A TECHNICAL ERROR. NOW IT’S
AGREED TO GIVE EMPLOYEES $1400
IF THEY CHOOSE TO QUIT AND LEAVE
THE FACTORY. ALL THE CHAOS MEANS
SHIPMENTS OF THE IPHONE. 14 PRO
COULD DROP BY AT LEAST 30% THIS
MONTH ALONE. REPORTS SAY IT’S
UNLIKELY TO RESUME FULL
PRODUCTION BEFORE THE END OF THE
MONTH. THE FOXCONN FACTORY IS
THE ONLY SITE THAT MAKES THE
HIGH END IPHONE 14 PRO AND PRO
MAX. IT ACCOUNTS FOR 70% OF ALL
IPHONE SHIPMENTS WORLDWIDE.
APPLE SAYS IT HAS EMPLOYEES ON
THE GROUND IN CHINA AND IS
REVIEWING THE SITUATION AND
WORKING WITH FOXCONN TO ADDRESS
EMPLOYEE CONCERNS. KAREN WE
WILL, OF COURSE, BE FOLLOWING
THIS AND WE WILL KEEP YOU

ANOTHER TEAM LIKE THAT, AND WE
DECIDED THAT WE WANTED TO TAKE
THE WORLD RECORD FOR THE MOST
DOMINANT EVER TOPPLED IN THE
WALL, AND WE TOOK THE WHOLE
PROJECT TOOK ABOUT LIKE A WEEK
