They’re having issues with the Arizona one. Will this be the same thing?
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

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.
Maybe.
I bet they won’t pull that same shit in Germany.
