Paris’ Mayor to pay a
fine for violating gender parity law
In 2018, Anne
Hidalgo apparently promoted 11 women to senior positions and only five men. Hidalgo, mayor of Paris, may have to cough up
a fine of €90,000, that is, about Rs 8,120,144, for favouring her gender. Yes,
she has been accused of violating the ‘Suavadet Law’, which demands that gender
parity be observed while hiring. Hidalgo has been accused of giving more
promotions to women than men while recruiting for higher ranks. Apparently, two
years ago, in 2018, she gave promotions to 11 women as opposed to five men,
elevating them to senior managerial posts. As per the Sauvadet Law, not more
than 60 per cent of jobs should go to any single gender. Hidalgo went against
the law by giving away 69 per cent of the senior management positions to women.
This also disturbed the gender parity in employment. She, however, feels the
fine is unjust and even ridiculous because women need to be promoted in France,
but she will, along with other senior women, pay the fine to the Ministry of
Public Service.

Apple
puts Wistron Corp on probation following workers’ violence in India
However,
the Taiwanese company claims that there has been no major financial setback due
to the workers going on a rampage at its Narasapura facility in Karnataka,
earlier this month. Apple
has put Wistron on probation saying it will not award new contracts to the
Company until the workers’ issues are addressed. Wistron, the Taiwanese
original design manufacturing company also said that there was limited
financial implications from the Narasapura facility violence. The plant at
Kolar, in Karnataka, India exhibited violations of ‘supplier code of conduct’
as revealed by an early Apple audit. The US-based tech giant further said that
Wistron had failed in the managerial process by not fixing proper working hours
for the workers. This had further led to the delays in payment of wages in
October and November. Apple has asserted it will monitor Wistron’s progress on
implementing corrective actions. Wistron has admitting to making mistakes in
the process of expansion and also acknowledged the need to strengthen the
processes related to payments and managing labour agencies.
