Violence broke out at a Taiwanese technology giant’s plant near Bengaluru after some employees, reportedly angry over salaries, vandalised the facility’s premises this morning. While the company, Wistron Corporation, is yet to respond to incident, the Karnataka government strongly condemned it.
The employees of the Narsapura plant suddenly turned violent today over their salaries – a matter that has lingered for months, according to reports. The protesters raised slogans against the management, pelted stones at the office, and set fire to a company name board and a vehicle.
A trade union leader, claiming information from the plant alleged that most on-contract employees were not paid “on time” and were concerned over “many deductions.”
