Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 49285, member: 636"] TSMC faces a growing lawsuit as seventeen American workers claim the company treats them unfairly at its Arizona factory. The workers say the chip maker favors hiring people from Taiwan and China over Americans. They argue that TSMC holds important meetings in Chinese languages that exclude non-Asian employees. Job postings often require or prefer Chinese language skills even for American positions. The lawsuit started with twelve people last year and added five more workers recently. American employees report constant verbal abuse from their supervisors who call them stupid and lazy. One worker says a manager told him that Americans do not work hard enough and lack commitment. Another employee claims a Chinese treasurer yelled at him daily and said she hated him. The company expects workers to put in twelve-hour days or face poor performance reviews. Several workers describe feeling excluded from business discussions conducted entirely in Chinese. Safety problems also plague the Arizona site according to the lawsuit. One lab worker inhaled dangerous chemicals after TSMC refused to provide proper protective gear. She had trouble breathing and her heart raced but the company nurse called the fire department instead of emergency services. The worker drove herself to the hospital for treatment. TSMC punished her for reporting the incident to safety officials. The company refuses to discuss the legal case but says it provides a safe and welcoming workplace for all employees. TSMC claims to be proud of its diverse team of three thousand workers at the Arizona facility. [/QUOTE]
