Apple iPhone maker Foxconn’s recruiters nix bar on married women after outrage | Company Business News

Apple iPhone supplier Foxconn has changed its hiring criteria in India by removing conditions related to marital status in job advertisements. This comes after media scrutiny and government investigations into discriminatory practices at the company's iPhone plant in Chennai. The revised ads remove previous criteria that excluded married women from assembly-line positions. Recruitment agents have been instructed to use standardized ads without mentioning Foxconn's name. The changes follow an investigation that found some ads violated anti-discrimination policies by excluding married women. The Indian government launched investigations into Foxconn's hiring practices, though the findings have not been disclosed.
