Description
From Boxun:

6月1日群发:东莞300多防爆警察驱散工人维权。 东莞东城的主山村钜旺鞋厂工人因不满厂房克扣工资、延长工作时间、故意罚款、辱骂工人、伙食低劣、缺乏社保医保等一系列严重问题,6月1日,工人冲上街头,政府迅速出动防暴警察镇压。

From CLB:

Several hundred workers. Protests against long working hours, low wages, management docking of wages and abuse of workers. Strike, roadblock, election of representatives to go to labor bureau with statement of demands. After dispersal by police and intervention by government officials, management forces worker representatives to resign.

From Citizens' Rights and Livelihood Watch:

此前,东莞台资钜旺鞋厂工人已几次罢工并向东莞市劳动部门投诉该工厂,可问题一直都没有得到处理和回应。今天,忍无可忍的工人们再次走上了东莞的街头阻路抗议.参加今天罢工的有五十多位工人,他们一度将温塘与大井头路口阻隔。

钜旺鞋厂的工人反映,该工厂严重的超时加班,待遇远低于劳动法的合同标准。同时,存在对工人的欺骗。在工人向劳动部门多次投诉后,问题不仅没有解决,厂方给工人发工资反而不再按法律要求提供给工人工资发放凭证,而只是让工人签名领工资。

这家台资工厂的工人已经几次阻路罢工并几次向劳动部门检举该工厂,结果是问题一点都没有得到解决。结合珠三角长期存在大量的血汗工厂的状况,可以看出权力与资本失去制约,法律执行失去监督。

据了解,厂方已同意晚上与工人进行对话,我们将继续关注事态的发展。
