Of course, TE Connectivity has 80000 employees across 24 locations and revenue is $13.99 bn. So making lots of money and being located across a range of countries, it will have different employment regulations for its different localities. It seems to me that wherever you work for this company, you need collective strength to bargain up to the best deal. Simply really. Do the research, organise your workmates/co-workers and get a better deal.
