  • Foxconn will never achieve their chinese efficiency here because unlike IT industries manufacturing based ones have many unions which try to fight for workers right.

    The next major move would be probably towards northern states which don’t have strong unions

    Most of the plant assembly workers are atleast graduate. Many upwards of 80% know English and they wont be able to work 12 hours straight, as many of their peers are just working 8 to 9 hours per day in other IT industriers.

    Most of them would be from tier 10 colleges and wouldn’t be working here if they themselves got jobs in the IT sector, so it would be unrealistic to expect the same level of salaries as IT sector

    So again, the solution is to move towards northern states which are relatively less educated & have less IT sector penetration

    The pay is really low compared to lucrative IT, so most of the womens working here aged 21 - 26 won’t work here after their marriage. So you have constant pool is skilled employees leaving each year and their is a constant need to train new set of employees.

    Solution is to provide childcare & increase wage in factories and retain workers or hire male employees

    So unless makes a new strategy for their Indian factories instead of trying to replicate the same from china, these problems will remain the same

    I think states can also help by providing cheaper electricity, lower property taxes etc
