Apple Inc. has suspended new business with key supplier Pegatron
Corp. after finding that the company violated the U.S. smartphone
maker's rules related to student worker programs at its China
facilities.
The Cupertino, Calif.-based technology giant said it has placed
Pegatron on probation and won't give the Taiwanese company any new
business until it completes all required corrective actions.
"Pegatron misclassified the student workers in their program and
falsified paperwork to disguise violations of our Code," Apple said
in a statement.
Pegatron has fired the executive with direct oversight of the
program, according to Apple.
Shares of the Taipei-based electronics company fell swiftly in
late Monday trading. The stock closed 2.1% lower, its steepest
one-day decline since late September.
In a statement, Pegatron said the violations involved its plants
in Shanghai and Kunshan. The company said it has since removed the
student workers from production lines and made arrangements for
them to return home or school with proper compensation.
