Taiwanese company upset people don't work 16 hour days without breaks and demand living wage. Should be the title of all the articles about this. I'm sure that means they have unrealistic expectations/timelines. How dare these construction workers not act like slave robots.

The sad truth of the matter is the reason we don't have much tech manufacturing in America is it costs more And takes more time. Workers expect better pay, less hours and benefits. Through in that we're more picky about industrial waste and other things that cost these companies money and they're all located where they are for a reason. The government subsidizing the costs for national defense is the only way companies (which are companies and only care about profit margins) are going to produce electronics in the US.
