TSMC facing discrimination lawsuit from US employees

Summary

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has been accused of “pervasive discrimination” against some of its workers in the USA.

Non-Asian employees and non-Taiwanese citizens "are frequently denied opportunities to advance and succeed at TSMC," the suit claims. The suit alleges that poor treatment of non-Asian workers leads to them being terminated.

The plaintiffs in the eight-count lawsuit are attempting to obtain class status for "all non-East Asian, non-Taiwanese, and non-Chinese individuals" who applied to or worked with an American TSMC subsidiary. A federal district court in northern California has set a deadline of December 13 for a response.

They can affect the US arm, especially since they're looking to create a fab here
