Foxconn has begun recruiting workers for a manufacturing plant in Zhengzhou, China, which is usually famous for producing iPhones, several weeks ahead of its usual seasonal plans As the main production base of iPhone assembly, Foxconn's Zhengzhou factory began a large-scale recruitment campaign in May to strengthen its labor reserve. As part of the package, the company offered more bonuses to workers joining the manufacturer, reportedly up to 30%.
According to Taiwan media udn, this recruitment is unusual because it is usually considered to be the off-season for electronics factories to recruit workers. Usually, Foxconn [iPhone] is in autumn( https://apple.pvxt.net/c/1251234/435400/7639?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.apple.com%2Fcn%2Fiphone%2F ) The main recruitment activities for production took place from mid June to July.
Promoting recruitment in advance may have nothing to do with the production of the highlight "iPhone 14" in the second half of the year, but it may be to maintain its labor reserve in an uncertain period. In mid April, Foxconn's Zhengzhou plant conducted a mandatory test on the potential covid-19 infection to prevent it from being sealed like a series of electronic factories in Shanghai and Suzhou. This is currently considered effective, which enables the Zhengzhou plant to avoid the impact of sealing.
In late April, Foxconn said it had about 200000 workers working in the area known as the "iPhone city". The company claimed at that time that production was not affected by covid-19.
