Workers at snack maker Kuai Kuai Co.'s only production facility in Taiwan
have voted to continue their strike indefinitely following a one-day action
yesterday.

According to the union, workers only learned through news reports in July
that land and factory buildings in Zhongli had been sold to Advanced
Semiconductor Engineering.

According to the sale contract, Kuai Kuai planned to lease the buildings for
up to 2 years to give it time to find a new manufacturing location.

The union has accused management of failing to engage in substantive
negotiations.

A Kuai Kuai spokesperson says the two sides have reached agreement on some
issues, while discussions were continuing over arrangements for employees who
leave the company during the two-year transition period before the relocation
is completed.

Kuai Kuai's butter-coconut-flavored corn puffs are a familiar sight in
Taiwan's tech sector, where packets are often taped to equipment in the
belief that they'll help machinery to operate smoothly.
