China seeks help from Communist party members to find workers willing to build iPhone units
As you might already know by now, Apple has already admitted shipments of the iPhone 14 Pro models for the current quarter will be reduced due to issues at Foxconn’s Zhengzhou facility in China. A COVID lockdown in the region where Apple’s largest iPhone assembler Foxconn has its busiest iPhone assembly lines led workers to flee the campus. Being stuck in the factory and working all day and night made many in the workforce angry enough to leave the facility.
The military and the Communist Party are recruiting for workers to man the iPhone assembly lines
China might be worried that Apple is going to abandon the country
The military has handed out recruitment quotas to newly enlisted veterans and party members. The quota amounts are unknown as is the compensation that the recruiters will receive for every new worker signed up. China is telling these veterans and Communist party members to “respond to the government’s call” and “aid in the resumption of production.”
Apple is looking to lower its dependence on China
The analyst went on to add that 35% to 40% of the holiday quarter’s iPhone units are manufactured in December. If Foxconn can’t get enough workers to man the iPhone assembly lines in Zhengzhou, shortages are going to be acute during the holiday season and the first calendar quarter of 2023.
