Very impressive scenes unfolded on Saturday at the Wistron-owned factory in Narasapura, India. A significant number of employees, annoyed at not being paid enough for months, came to ransack this workspace which ensures the production of iPhone SEs.

Apple moves part of its production to India
In detail, these very angry employees destroyed furniture located in the premises before attacking the assembly lines. A car was also set on fire, while the offices of company executives were also targeted. It should be noted that no physical violence was observed during these events.
According to staff members, the source of these troubles is the company's failure to keep its promises. While she had, for example, promised $285 per month to one of them, the latter would have received only $217, then $163 per month. For some, it is much worse and the amounts paid would be derisory. Following this rampage, Indian police arrested around a hundred employees.
