Modi's govt calls on Indian state to look into Reuters report on Foxconn hiring
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government on Wednesday said it has asked the Tamil Nadu state to submit a "detailed report" after a Reuters story revealed that Apple supplier Foxconn rejected married women from iPhone assembly jobs in the country. In a statement calling for the probe, the federal government's Ministry of Labour and Employment cited the Equal Remuneration Act of 1976, saying the law "clearly stipulates that no discrimination (is) to be made while recruiting men and women workers." The ministry said it has requested a detailed report from the Labour Department of Tamil Nadu, site of a major iPhone factory where Reuters uncovered Foxconn’s practice of shunning married women from jobs.

Tech war: dreams die for bankrupt Chinese semiconductor start-up Woodson
The recent collapse of Woodson, a Shanghai-based semiconductor start-up that went bankrupt, is the latest example of how China's efforts to build local alternatives to the world's most advanced chips can fail. Woodson, whose main entity is Shanghai Wusheng Semiconductor Group, was liquidated, according to a notice released on June 6 by the city's Pudong New Area People's Court. That marked the end for the firm, which was once an emerging star in China's semiconductor industry. Do you have questi

Post Office Horizon expert admits seeing legal advice on trial obligations and defends Fujitsu's remote access
A key figure behind the flawed IT system that led to hundreds of sub-postmasters being wrongly jailed has told the Post Office inquiry he had "not remembered" legal advice he was given about his obligations as an expert witness. Former senior Fujitsu engineer Gareth Jenkins was crucial in the prosecutions process because he was one of the architects of the Horizon accounting systems and one of a few people to have extensive knowledge of their workings. The letter, which related to the Post Office prosecution of postmaster Lee Castleton, was written four years before Mr Jenkins was presented as an expert witness in the case of Seema Misra, who was wrongfully sentenced to 15 months in prison while pregnant in 2010.

Congress in 2022 approved the Chips and Science Act to boost domestic semiconductor output with $52.7 billion in research and manufacturing subsidies. According to the Commerce Department, the project's first phase would support the production of liquid filter membranes and Front Opening Unified Pods (FOUPS), specialized containers invented by Entegris to secure semiconductor wafers when transported during the manufacturing process.

Potential China action against EU pork may be double-edged sword for Brazil
China's potential imposition of anti-dumping measures on European Union pork imports, a disastrous scenario for the bloc, could benefit Brazil's exporters but also affect the country's ability to compete elsewhere, analysts and industry sources said. Chinese companies have asked for an anti-dumping probe into pork imports from the European Union, state-backed Chinese media have reported. The potential for additional demand from China as a consequence of any anti-dumping measures is welcome for Brazilian exporters.
