Qcells Faces Production Challenges Amid Supply Disruptions
Reading
A solar company in Georgia will make changes. The company is from South Korea and makes solar panels. They will reduce pay and work time for many workers because of import problems.
The company will also let go some workers from staffing groups. These workers are at the plants in Georgia. About 300 workers will lose their jobs at these plants.
U.S. officials are holding some parts for the solar panels. They think these parts may use forced work from China. Because of this, the company cannot make as many solar panels now.
The U.S. is checking goods from China more closely now. This is because of a law about forced labor. Officials started holding the solar parts from the company in June.
The company says its parts are not made with forced labor. They say they do not come from China. The company says they will keep working with officials and hope to make more panels soon.
