Foxconn was first accused of discrimination in June 2024. The company’s chair, Young Liu, then tried evading questions about the issue, but India’s government demanded answers.
Now according to Reuters, Foxconn has capitulated and has ordered its recruitment agencies to cease discrimination. Foxconn had previously admitted to discrimination around 2022, but denied it was still happening.
