Research on labour disputes at NXP
Report by GoodElectronics about NXP Semiconductors N.V., based in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. This former Philips company is a key supplier of chips and semiconductors that are used in billions of passports, mobile phones, tablets and cars. It is also involved in the revolutionary 'Internet of Things' as co-inventor of a new wireless technology called Near Field Communication (NFC).
With this report, GoodElectronics aims to give a detailed account and background of multiple conflicts NXP has with local trade unions in Thailand and the Philippines. GoodElectronics also questions whether these conflicts can entail a business risk for NXP. The report is based on desk research and information from local contacts in Thailand and the Philippines, including GoodElectronics Thailand (GET) and Metal Workers Alliance of the Philippines (MWAP). read more less
