Hundreds of workers at Apple's iPhone factory in China protested over stressful and restraining COVID-19 restrictions as well as a lack of pay.
Workers at the Foxconn factory in Zhengzhou clashed with security early Wednesday after alleging that new employees were forced to bunk with infected employees. Apple contracts their contract manufacturing out to Foxconn, making the Zhengzhou factory a critical facility in iPhone production.
"Regarding any violence, the company will continue to communicate with employees and the government to prevent similar incidents from happening again," Foxconn added in a statement.
