Workers demand more transparency after Intel secures $8B CHIPS funding


Intel awarded nearly $8B to “supercharge” US semiconductor innovation.

In a press release, Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo boasted that the substantial award would set up "Intel to drive one of the most significant semiconductor manufacturing expansions in US history" and "supercharge American innovation" while making the US "more secure." By the end, Intel expects to operate America's largest advanced packaging facility in New Mexico and "one of only three locations in the world where leading-edge process technology is developed" in Oregon, NIST said. The company may struggle to recruit workers, Barish suggested, without being clear about their rights to "join a union free from intimidation, captive audience meetings, exposure to anti-union consultants, threats of retaliation, and other obstacles to achieve bargaining."
