A few hundred workers who face being laid off by Asustek Computer staged a protest in front of the company's headquarters in Taipei yesterday, demanding the company raise their severance payments, according to the Chinese-language Economic Daily News (EDN). Asustek's current work force in Taiwan is about 9,500 employees, but it is seeking to cut costs by trimming its manufacturing operations in Taiwan, the paper said. Its manufacturing department will have 3,200 employees after the layoff later this month, while its R&D department has increased the number of employees to 3,500 thus far from 2,900 at the beginning of this year, the paper added.
