Apple and Foxconn successfully lobbied India’s Karnataka region to extend legal working hours in factories, but labor unions are starting to push back.
Foxconn has now had formal approval for its new iPhone factory by the Karnataka authorities, and it follows an earlier change in Indian law over conditions. Both Foxconn and Apple lobbied for the change, which sees longer working hours and also overnight work for women.Previously, women were not allowed to work night shifts, and factories were limited to a maximum of nine hours per day. The new law change, implemented in Karnataka and being pressed for across India, means factories can now run two 12-hour shifts.
