Shanghai has been on lockdown for almost two months, due to its worst COVID-19 breakout since 2020. Apple supplier Quanta Computer, located in Shanghai, is facing backlash from mostly low-wage workers demanding more freedom from these lockdown restrictions.
According to Bloomberg, the workers are worried their supply of daily necessities will run out as the lockdown continues. Hundreds have been clashing with guards and flooding isolation barriers, searching for these necessities. There’s even been media reports of a group of workers storming dorms that house Quanta’s Taiwanese managers, disputing the lockdown and pay.
