    Um the Arizona plant isn’t having any issues, do you have a source? The only thing I can find is TSMC signed a voluntary agreement with AZ to have more oversight on construction worker safety. That isn’t a bad thing at all.

    “Speaking at a press conference near the TSMC construction site in Phoenix, Hobbs announced that TSMC and the state had signed a voluntary protection program, according to AP. “Under this agreement, TSMC will adhere to requirements higher than those at the federal level,” Hobbs said.” - https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4964861

      I just read an article here on lemmy. Can’t find the exact article but it looks similar to this

      https://9to5mac.com/2023/08/07/us-tsmc-plant-petition/

      the company was unhappy with US construction workers. Wants them working longer hours and lowering pay. And to bring in their own workers from Taiwan. Which is a problem because this was sold as a jobs project. Sounds like a mess to me.

        Thanks for the info. It looks like this problem has been sorted out given TSMC agreed to whatever Arizona asked them to agree to.
