The world's largest chipmaker promised to create thousands of US jobs. There are growing tensions over whether US workers have the skills or work ethic to do them.::Jobs at the TSMC semiconductor factory in Arizona could require long hours and total obedience. Americans may push back on the company's culture.

I mean FABs are very complex. If they're going to try to give the role to the uneducated poor folk (looking at you south USA), it's going to require extreme leadership conditions :(

The comment in this thread are a good summary of why TSMC has concerns. I fully support workers rights of course. But from TSMC's perspective, WHY would they want to put up with all our 'crap' when they can continue operating in Taiwan with their standard practices?

Fair point however I would rather have chip dependance than exploitation
