This is about the construction workers building the fab. TSMC doesn't want to work with unionized builders so they're lying about the capabilities of said builders as an excuse to bring in a bunch of scabs from Taiwan

Fuck, how did I miss that. I read the article I swear. I think my brain filtered it out though, since I've been reading about issues with Americans engineers encountering major cultural differences with TSMC.
