Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), the inarguable behemoth in the global semiconductor sphere, faced a conundrum with the advent of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic where the need to ensure the safety of its workers clashed head-on with the necessity of ramping up the 10nm node production process. Now, according to a Bloomberg report, several complaints against Intel have been lodged with the regulatory agencies in the U.S. over the company’s apparent disregard for worker safety in its quest to maintain production.

Bear in mind that a sterilized manufacturing environment is a necessity for chip production lines in order to prevent dust particles from seeping into the sensitive machinery. Nonetheless, other communal areas in such facilities are not subjected to the same extent of sterilization due to practical limitations. Now, however, it appears that Intel workers have serious reservations regarding the safety protocols that the company instituted to prevent the introduction and spread of the coronavirus in its facilities.
