Well, it's Korea and not China. Workers can go to court to demand the money they deserve by law (because I'm guessing that Korea has laws against labor explotation).

And if they can't... well, it would suck major ass for all of us, but they can always go on strike and make the company lose billions in lost contracts and missed deliveries.

You meant Taiwan, right?

And yeah, it's also supposedly illegal over there... but not sure Taipeh will do anything against it considering TSMC in by far the biggest company of the country and thus might get away with it.

But seriously, the gall of telling them basically "You can resign, there are students waiting for your job".

Sorry, yes I meant Taiwan. I was thinking about Samsung and mixed both.

The menace of firing somone because there are others that would take his/her place is used too often, and sometimes it's an empty menace. In a business like TSMC, you need competent and trained people to run your business, and while you can obviously train new ones, you can't do that fast enough if enough people go on strike or "get sick" at the same time.
