家园 网易跟南方系是一丘之貉

涉及到台企就嘴软了。

家园 其实,台巴子企业的名声最差

记得很早有个排名,

美国企业>欧洲>>日本韩国>台湾香港

说句难听点的,台湾企业是有罪的,挤占了大陆本地尤其是劳动密集型工业的发展。

家园 Glad to be here.

The following is my part of a writeup on Foxconn and the recent strikes that will be modified, toned down, but appear as the cover story of our newspaper in two days. I apologize for not being able to type in Chinese.

The struggle is everywhere.

Manufacturing powerhouses struggling in a declining global economy have learned the hard way that the cheap labor they rely on too have limits, as Honda managers woke up yesterday to the third week of a largest-ever protest that shut down almost all its Chinese production.

About 2,000 workers at Honda Auto Party Manufacturing Co in Foshan, Guandong province had been on strike since May 17, demanding managers to double their wages to 2500 yuan ($366) a month.

The protest grew after the management sacked workers suspected of leading that strike, and protesters, who according to Caixin online were beaten by groups of local union staff on Monday, were now calling for the re-instatement of sacked workers as well as the restructuring of their trade union.

In Tokyo, Honda spokeswoman Yasuko Matsuura on Tuesday said most of the employees on strike at the plant “have agreed to new wages, and some production started there”.

She said “almost all” of those on strike have agreed to increasing the total starting wage by about 24 percent to 1,910 yuan ($280) per month.

Labor disputes are highly uncommon and rarely reported in China. A Constitutional clause in 1975 granting workers the right to strike was deleted in the current Constitution, which was revised in 1980 and came into effect two years later.

Zhang Youyu, who took part in the Constitutional revision, explained that the “freedom to strike” clause in the 1975 Constitution was “a product of ultra-leftist thought” that was unsuitable for enterprises in China, which “belong to the people”.

But a string of recent disputes may indicate the extent of rising awareness among a new generation of low-wage, mostly rural migrant workers, and their growing dissatisfaction of the harsh working conditions their predecessors suffered in earlier decades here in the “world factory”.

In Foshan’s nearby Shenzhen, Foxconn, the largest contract electronics maker anywhere, last Friday promised workers a 20-percent salary jump from the current 900 yuan ($132) – the local minimum wage – after 13 of its staff attempted suicide this year. Ten of them died.

During the past month alone, strikes had been reported in Pingdingshan, Henan; Lanzhou, Gansu; Honghe, Yunnan; Datong, Shanxi; Zaozhuang, Shandong; Suzhou, Jiangsu, Chongqing, Shanghai and Beijing.

Despite remarkable achievements – China would surpass Japan to become the world’s second-largest economy this year – the proportion of the country’s GDP that goes towards salaries has steadily decreased since 1983, said Zhang Jianguo, a senior official with the All China Federation of Trade Unions.

The widening of wealth gap is simultaneous with the rise of a younger generation of workers, who were brought up in an era of relative affluence but, according to Liu Kaiming, director of a Shenzhen-based think-tank, “get much, much less pay than their predecessors for the same amount of time at work”.

Wang Yang, Party chief of Guangdong, last week urged Foxconn to adopt a “better, more humane working environment” for its young workers, who he said “need more care and respect and need to be motivated to work with enthusiasm”.

As the government tries to shift from decades of reliance on exports of cheap products by labor-intensive industries along its booming coasts, employers have been complaining of rapidly increasing costs and labor shortages.

Chang Kai, a labor expert at Renmin University, said the shortages mean that the migrant workers are now “pickier in their wages, benefits, social status and working conditions”.

“Our economy can no longer rely on squeezing labor benefits, because workers are unwilling to accept it anymore. I have to say the squeeze is very cruel now,” he said.

The emerging labor movements are a significant departure from earlier years, when Zhang Zhixiong, deputy union chairman at Beijing Hyundai, in 2003 assured the Korean automaker that there would “never be any strike” at its facilities in the Chinese capital.

“Strikes in China would jeopardize the company’s reputation. So there never will be any strike (here),” Zhang then said.

Around 1,000 workers at Hyundai’s parts factory in Beijing went on a two-day strike last Friday, demanding wage increases. The strike ended after the management promised a 15 percent pay rise soon and a further 10 percent rise in July, according to the Beijing Times.

In Guangdong, many young ground-level workers with little education shift from one plant to the next after just a couple of months – when they can no longer continue working 10 to 12-hour days on the assembly line, making no more than 1,500 yuan a month.

Some among them, meanwhile, have been so accustomed to the prevalent urban consumerist culture that they routinely spend up to 70 percent of all their monthly income shopping or texting away on mobile phones, according to a recent study by the department of commerce in Hunan province.

Either way, these workers, who form the basis of China’s 200-million strong migrant labor force, have been much more vocal in defending their rights than in earlier years, the study concluded.

Pan Yi, a senior labor expert at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, said recent events indicate what she calls “the end to the ‘world factory’ model”.

“The existence of migrant labor is a sin of the times – a sin and a mishap. We call for a development model that is more humane and respectable,” Pan said.

家园 算你狠!
家园 尽管不算准确,说说自己站在车间流水线上的滋味!

每当流水线的机器一开,人就变成了机器的一部分,根本无暇思考,说话,甚至稍不留神,就会在自己的这个环节造成积压,往往要再多两三个人帮忙才能恢复正常。上厕所,走神,说话,发呆都是不可能的,只有机器停下来,才觉得自己是个人。不过机器停了,人休息一下又开始为下一次机器的开动做各种准备,准备好了就再开机。

这样的工作一个班7个小时,中间机器开动的时间大致有三个小时似乎。中午管饭,吃的还算不错。有那么两天由于实在抽不开人手,连续干了两个班,当时上班要骑车近50分钟!

这些大致是以前的一种包装流水线的情况,现在怕是更狠,可以想见,流水线一开动,那些小孩只能认真尽责的将自己的工作做好,不然就会被罚钱,而且机器一开,人就不能停。

全心全意为人民服务!那些官员,党员都哪里去了,当年怎么宣誓的,党章上第一句话就忘记了,富士康的党组织呢为什么不出来道歉认罪,不要自杀,只要在电视上给全国人民鞠个躬,表个态!然后认真负责的将自己工作做好,给中国人以做人的资格!

什么,富士康没有党组织,只有资本家的走狗!让广东省深圳市的领导将自己的子女都送进富士康进行锻炼。

什么,自己的子女都去国外了,省市各抽调100名干部入住富士康,从工人干起,那些小孩干什么他们就干什么,那些小孩怎么生活,他们就怎么生活,就不信,还会有人自杀!

通宝推:朴石,
家园 呵呵,还真的良心发现了

富士康涨了30%的工资~~~~~

家园 确实如此

不过,不是不报,时候未到。以后的统一战争可以出口恶气。

家园 中国的公会可以跟美欧的公会相提并论吗?

现在中国的公会恐怕还不如解放以前。

家园 腾讯什么时候成了南方系的?

腾讯被南方系收购了?

家园 腾讯是南方系的吗?

你要看总编嘛

家园 腾讯也没有被南方系收购嘛!不也是南方系的吗?

你要看总编出身嘛

家园 现在不仅媒体

而且

====================

普世

衙门

捕快

精英

。。。。。

都是一个样

家园 中国必须要有对资本制衡的力量,比如说是独立工会

或劳资法庭或三方会谈机制,否则现在这种资本主义形式是最残忍最没有道德的。

自愿加班是工人的权利,这样可以赚更多钱。这是制度的弹性,应该得到保证。

但是,这种“自愿”要有更多的心理指导和帮助。欧洲有规定每周工作时间不得超过35小时,就是因为大多数教育技术低下的(年青)非熟练工人并不知道长期工作是对心理和生理健康极大损害。而这种损害会在年龄增长后很快体现出来。

我们最近在对职业病的一些研究中就发现,劳资双方良好的沟通机制,共同管理共同分享企业利润的方式,可以减少职业病。所以,有休闲设施不见得对工人有爱心,可能只是事先就安排好的借口;自愿延长劳动时间不见得是信息充分下的自愿,可能只是有意无意的误导和胁迫。

道德沦丧的资本主义就是恶魔。全社会的人们都应该反对这种牺牲人的生命来追求利益的资本和资本家。

家园 想想算了,自删

不能嘲笑残障人士。

家园 某些人听到工会就联想到团结工会 继续联想下去.....

所以 这个真没有
