TSMC sends more employees to build a factory in the United States, and local employees complain that wages may fall as a result.

CTOnews.com, July 14, according to the Kuiheng website, TSMC recently planned to send more Taiwanese employees to the United States in order to speed up the construction of its factories in the United States, which was dissatisfied with local workers in the United States, who thought it would affect their wages.

Several sources on ▲ TSMC's official website revealed to the US media that TSMC is replacing local American workers by sending employees in Taiwan, or using it as an excuse to cut their wages.

TSMC responded in a statement: "the new plant in the United States is at a critical stage of construction and requires more skilled expertise." Given that the company is now at a critical stage of handling all the most advanced and specialized equipment in complex facilities, we need skilled expertise for specific TSMC construction activities in Arizona. and temporarily bring selected professionals with rich experience to Arizona who hold E2 visas to support the work and the rapid development of the project. "

So far, the number of Taiwanese workers going to Arizona has not been determined, but they will only stay in Arizona for a limited period of time for this particular construction project and will not affect the current 12000 workers, the statement said. nor will it affect the original recruitment of American factories.

CTOnews.com previously reported that TSMC and its suppliers plan to send hundreds more employees from Taiwan to Arizona to speed up the construction of the local plant. According to sources, TSMC and its suppliers are negotiating with the US government to assist in the processing of non-immigrant visas, with the goal of sending more than 500 experienced employees to the United States as soon as July to speed up the installation of clean room facilities, pipelines and other equipment.
