Jalon Electronics Workers Protest in Xiamen
Description
From CLB:

3 June 2010: Workers at Jalon Electronics in Xiamen staged a mass "sleep-in" to protest against new work quotas introduced after a 1 June pay increase. Workers said pay for an eight hour shift had gone up from 30 yuan to 38 yuan but that the work quota had gone up from an already difficult 7,700 units of conductive adhesive to an impossible 9,000 units. The workload was so exhausting that workers said they had no option but to sleep at their stations.

上班时间,工人停工睡觉。

  本报讯(文/图 记者 刘以结)昨天,殿前哈隆电子公司的员工因不满公司规定,愤然停工,趴在车间里睡觉。

  昨日下午,记者在该公司的车间看到,工人们都“优哉游哉”的,有的无所事事地走来走去,有的三三两两聚在一起聊天,不少人趴在流水线上睡觉,没人干活。

  记者了解到,工人们停工的原因是工资低,而公司又将定额定得过高。“每个月累死累活,工资差不多也就1800元。”工人小陈说,每天他们几乎都要加班到晚上10点,有时甚至是通宵加班,双休日对他们来说是奢侈的想法,周末两天同样要加班,就是这样的工作状态,他们也只能勉强完成定额。

  小陈说,6月1日起,公司决定给员工涨工资,原定的8个小时的工资从原来的30元涨到38元,但公司同时提高了定额量,比如导电胶的定额原本是7700个,现在涨到9000个。“7700个就很赶了,加班加点才勉强能完成,提高这么多,怎么可能完成得了?”

  小陈说,公司规定,如果完成不了定额,法定的8个小时工资不再以时间计算,而是以计件计算,这样一来,8个小时大约只能拿到20多元,“这样比以前更不划算。”

  虽然停工了,但工人们不敢离开厂区。小陈说,大家怕一离开,公司会以旷工处理,旷工一天要扣钱100多元。

  记者来到该公司办公室,工作人员称,老板出差了,不在公司。生产主管拒绝记者采访,说:“这是我们内部的事,我们自己会处理好。”
