Taiwanese company upset people don’t work 16 hour days without breaks and demand living wage. Should be the title of all the articles about this. I’m sure that means they have unrealistic expectations/timelines. How dare these construction workers not act like slave robots.

These are union workers though. They tend to be a lot closer to being able to afford groceries.

It’s almost like all these free trade agreements and such with the developing world we’re all designed to enrich the oligarchical ruling class. With zero fucks given to anything but cheap labor with higher profit margins.

After personally speaking to a Taiwanese engineer working for TSMC in AZ, there is a major cultural difference, it shouldn’t be overlooked.
People forget though, Intel is also expanding their plant in Chandler so this project is competiting for workers from within a diminished work force against a huge competitor. Intel doesn’t need to be told how to pay and run US based capital projects.
If anything TSMC should be embarrassed they couldn’t successfully forecast a huge capital project to completion. That’s where the lack of competency and blame should be placed.
