Apple manufacturer Pegatron to invest $150 million on facilities in India — Apple World Today

This may help get Pegatron — an electronics manufacturing company that develops mainly computing, communications and consumer electronics to branded vendors — back in Apple’s good graces. On Nov. 9, Bloomberg reported that Apple had suspended new business with iPhone assembler Pegatron after discovering labor violations at a student workers’ program.

The tech giant said it discovered several weeks ago that the Taiwanese manufacturer misclassified student workers and allowed some to work nights and overtime in violation of Apple’s Supplier Code of Conduct. Employees then “went to extraordinary lengths” to cover up the violations, according to Bloomberg. It’s since placed its partner on probation until corrective action is completed.
