Sanyo Workers Strike in Longhua, Shenzhen
Description
From CLB:

From China Labour Bulletin:

"More than a thousand workers at Sanyo Huaqiang Laser Electronics in Shenzhen’s Longhua district staged a one day strike last week over working conditions and a planned merger with a factory in another district in downtown Shenzhen.

A small work stoppage on the evening of Tuesday 9 November was followed by a fully-fledged strike on Wednesday which blocked the adjacent highway. Anti-riot police were called in and two workers were reportedly beaten and detained

Workers were protesting because the company reportedly told them they would lose their jobs unless they agreed to move to the company’s main factory in Meilin district. In addition, they complained that after the company increased basic salaries to 1,100 yuan per month this year, inline with Shenzhen’s new minimum wage, it quadrupled the cost of food in the staff canteen.

After excessive overtime, workers said they could earn around 2,000 yuan a month before tax but the company’s social security and medical insurance contributions were still calculated according to the basic wage.

The predominately women workers further complained that their salaries were one half to two third’s of their male co-workers’ salaries and that conditions in the women’s dormitories were appalling.

The strike ended after management agreed to negotiate.

工人论坛11日跟踪报道,龙华镇同富裕工业区三洋电子厂罢工运动发生于11月9日,但在11月10日矛盾激化,现场非常激烈。今日(11月11日)仍在继续进行中,而且公司保安今天终于加入了罢工队伍。另外,今天有超过六百名员工被三洋公司解雇,其中大部分是被“批走”的。(据工友称因为怕这些员工继续闹事,所以乘机将之前交过辞工书的员工“批走”)。目前龙华镇三洋厂全部员工大约三千多人。

工人论坛12日跟踪报道,三洋厂工人今日仍在罢工,但罢工活动已转移到车间里。昨日加入罢工队伍的保安,资方承诺给予补偿,因此保安今日退出了罢工队伍。警察仍在厂区监视。工人们聚集在车间,停工不工作默默抗议。

工人论坛12日下午最新消息,理光事件在三洋厂重演,大批防暴队和治安员和警察强势介入,以保障“亚运会”和谐举行的名义,强迫工人复工,并威胁工人称,谁罢工就抓谁,目前已有员工被抓。工人无奈,含泪复工。

以下为三洋厂女工发在QQ空间的文章,文后附有该女工QQ空间地址:

今日(11.10)深圳三洋华强龙华大浪工厂,员工因对工厂搬迁处理方式不满与管理人员协商无果后采取集体抗议,要求厂方给出合理处理。在这期间却遭到赶来的警察和治安的欧打和围攻。并抓走两名工人,员工抗议要求放人遭拒!三洋是那些小日本所开!

他们把员工的抗议说成是暴动是违法!!!这个厂百分之九十九都是十多岁的女孩子,他们,人民的警察打人/穷凶极恶却被他们说成是维护我们工人的利益,没有哪个国家的警察这么不要脸吧!!!

员工们很无奈,没有一个政府部门的人为员工说话/ 为这样的中国政府纳税感到不值!!

包括新闻记者,什么《第一现场》早上七点多工人们打电话寻求帮助, 到十一点都还没见人在哪里,所谓的为民说话的看来也假得很,很让人失忘!!!

动用大量警察,防暴警都用上了。为的是对付这些手无寸铁的女工!这些人高马大的警察男人们还动手打女工并且都是比你们小很多的女孩子,你们还是警察?人都不配做!多么毒的“人民警察”你们配叫人民的警察吗?你们为那些奸商,有钱人而存在的不是我们这些人民

告诉工人会解决,警察的头头都用上了暴力,恐吓!这些人民的公朴让人民很失忘。我们大家凭什么相信你们!!!!!!

这些就是那些不是人的警察,为那个无良的日本奸商作威做福的走狗!

告诉员工解决,却无人应答!不与理会!

没有一个政府部门人员为员工作主,来的是一群丧心病狂的走狗警察,从不见为人民做过什么好事,坏事哪里都有他们的身影!!!

开放的深圳,外来工人却受如此代遇,人民警察为奸商。法律一纸空文保护的是那些有钱有势的日本人,这个国家是为富人开的不是咋们这些穷工人!

还有那个龙华警察局的像是什么大官满身­肥肉的草包警察,三洋的女工们咒你全家不得好死!!我们是没钱的外来工人,不用用那种看不起的眼神吼大家, 你个CAO BAO不是也拿着我们这些纳税人的钱,有本事你别拿你的工资还有那么牛吗!LZ们纳税养了你们这群为富做猖为三洋那个日本杂种做坏事的极品垃圾。(来源:三洋厂员工的QQ空间)
