Compal To Raise Wages

TAIWAN-BASED Compal Electronics Inc, the world's largest contract laptop maker, said yesterday that a Chinese mainland labor shortage and rising wages pose big challenges to the computer maker.

But instead of moving to lower-wage countries, Compal will increase the pay for its mainland workers and try to improve their working environment, said company Chairman Hsu Sheng-hsiung.

He said the wages will increase by a "small amount," but refused to elaborate.

Compal churned out 38 million laptops last year -- 23 percent of the world total -- mostly from the city of Kunshan, near Shanghai.
