TSMC sends more Taiwanese workers to finish Arizona plant

Water...water is the problem for fabrication plants in Arizona, not workers. 

They should have placed this plant near an ocean cost and built a desalt plant for ocean water.

Thank god they are moving in the right direction.

Previously, TSMC engineers in Taiwan have complained that Americans don't work hard enough, and "are the most difficult to manage."

So did anyone else see the documentary film "American Factory?" Same scenario except the company is run by a PRC businessman who buys a closed GM plant in Ohio, and makes auto glass. He hires Americans laid off by GM, saving the town from economic death, but wages are half what they made before they made nothing. He had the same complaints, and add in unionization efforts, when American workers are expected to work extra hours without pay. And of course the bosses are all Chinese and have the same racist tendencies as the Americans who work for them.

But apparently they've reached accord, or at least detente, since Fuyao Glass America is still operating there.

The movie was interesting. As regards to racist tendencies I noticed typical management ignorance. The Americans had a much harder time working near the furnaces, That's not laziness but basic physics/biology. The Americans are substantially larger than their Chinese counterparts. Large animals cannot dissipate heat as efficiently as small animals -- elephants have big ears for a reason. The larger American men working near the ovens simply dissipate the heat of the furnaces as well as Chinese workers. 

Wouldn't it be nice, and surprising if managers actually had some basic knowledge?

I heard this first time from you. This is basic knowledge?
