CHENNAI, INDIA -- Foxconn's Sriperumbudur factory, the site of constant protests by displaced workers, will officially shut down Feb. 10, yet negotiating on behalf of the unions continues. 

Foxconn is offering severance packages to the 1,300 workers but reportedly only a fraction have accepted.

A union leader announced a meeting scheduled for Wednesday with the country's deputy labor commissioner, although it is unclear what measures can be taken to keep the factory open.

The severance package reportedly includes two months’ salary for every year of service up to 12 months, with a lump sum Rs.50,000 ($800). The workers will also get a bonus of Rs.8,300 ($133) and a service compensation of Rs.2,000 ($32) for every five years, along with three months of notice period pay.

Foxconn closed the plant on short notice in late December after its primary customer, Nokia, cut its orders. Nokia hand was forced by Microsoft, which acquired the phone OEM in 2013, but failed to include the Sriperumbudur facility in the deal because of a tax dispute between the Indian government and Nokia, which resulted in liens on the site.

Microsoft then cut its orders to the plant in November.
