Powering Workers’ Rights: Flex Ltd. and Union Suppression in the Electronics Manufacturing Supply Chain in Malaysia
June 23 @ 6:00 am - 7:00 am PDT
Date: June 23, 2026
Time: 6 am PST / 9 am EST / 3 pm CEST
Flex Ltd. (Nasdaq: FLEX) is one of the world’s largest electronics manufacturers. It operates over 100 facilities that design, build, ship and service electronics for leading global brands across the data center, consumer products, healthcare, automotive, and industrial sectors. Malaysia is an important hub for Flex’s electronics manufacturing. It is also the site of allegations of an aggressive company-led union suppression campaign.
Workers at Flex’s Malaysian subsidiary’s facilities in Penang lodged over 80 police complaints, asserting that company management had created a “climate of fear”, actively discouraging and intimidating employees ahead of a union election in July 2025. The minimum threshold of workers required to validate the election was not met: Of the 43% of workers who voted in the election, 92% supported union recognition.
As Flex’s Annual General Meeting approaches, this webinar is an opportunity for investors to hear directly from workers, unions and experts about work conditions and risks linked to alleged labour rights violations at Flex’s operations in Malaysia.
Speaker information will be updated at the beginning of June.
An investor brief reviews Flex’s human rights and labour rights commitments, outlines the concerns raised by workers and trade unions, and explains why these issues may be relevant to investors. It also proposes questions that investors may wish to raise with the company in engagements. Read the investor brief here.
