Foxconn, the largest producer of iPhones in the world, has opened a factory including in Brazil for the assembly of devices from Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, but she recently stopped production due to an employee strike. Conformable local newspapers, no less than 3500 people went on strike at the end of last week, so the entire activity of the factory was suspended for almost a week due to these protests.
The Brazilian employees of Foxconn demand the change of the regulations regarding the attributions at the workplaces and demand an increase in wages, blocking the access of other employees to the production lines of the Foxconn company. This is not the first strike of this kind that takes place at the factory in Jundiai, but it is hard to say how much Apple will suffer from it, considering that old models of its iDevices are produced there.
