A culture clash between the Taiwanese company and the local American workforce has hindered TSMC’s efforts to build a chip fab in Arizona.
The completion of Fab 21 has been delayed to 2025 because of worker-related issues, but TSMC chairman Mark Liu expressed optimism that the company is learning how to engage with U.S. workers to get the facility up and running.
TSMC has received plenty of scathing criticism from the U.S. press for its conflicts with the union — criticism that chairman Mark Liu notes the company doesn’t receive from the Taiwanese media due to its revered status in Taiwan for serving as the ‘silicon shield’ that protects the country from invasion from China.
Initial attempts in the 80s went poorly for Toyota, but the construction for subsequent factories was smoother as the company acclimated to America’s cultural landscape.
The Superconducting Super Collider (or SSC) was notorious for its delays and high costs, caused at least in part by the cultural tensions between scientists and engineers from the military-industrial complex.
Congress ultimately canceled the SSC due to its back-to-back delays and ballooning budget, a fate that TSMC will undoubtedly prefer not to repeat.
