3. Since Liberation in
1949
Socialist period, 1949-1978
First part of reform period, 1978-1992
Post Southern Tour, 1992-2010
New militancy, 2010 to 2014
5. Urban danwei (work
unit) system
Lifetime employment guarantee
Housing provided and subsidized
Food and fuel subsidized
Medical care system provided
Public school education free
No firings or negative discipline
Positive examples such as model workers
6. Workers had a lot of
power in a socialist
society Unions didn’t have
to protect people
from firing or unfair
discipline
Management was
paternalistic (eg.
Beijing Jeep)
Wage system was
very egalitarian
But, things have
changed….
7. Unions in the past:
1949-1978, Role:
Organized the ping
pong tournaments
Helped out sick
people
Promoted
production and
model workers
Promoted good
nutrition “The union
gave us eggs.”
8. ACFTU
One party and one
union
All-China
Federation of
Trade Unions
No independent
unions
9. 1976: Terrible Year
January: Premier Zhou died
April: flowers in Tiananmen
Square
July: earthquake in Tangshan:
250,000 died
September: Chairman Mao died
October: Gang of Four arrested
15. Inflation of the late 1980s lead
to protest about corruption and
accountability
1989
Tiananmen Square
Far more workers were
killed than students
They defended the
streets leading to the
Square by barricading
them
17. Workers fought back
against structural
changes and lay-offs
2000, official tally of
collective actions:
8,247 involving
259,445 workers
2002, Northeast
action
Liaoning, 30,000
workers protested
Liaoyang city,
leaders arrested
and jailed
18. China joined WTO in 2001
What event preceded it
two months before?
19. Effects on people
UNCTAD estimates 25 million
unemployed resulting from WTO entry
in 2001
Education has plummeted in rural
areas, especially among girls; less
than ½ girls attend schools in some
provinces
Public health coverage:
– 1978: 90% of population covered through
work unit or commune;
– 1997: 4% covered
29. Support for strikes?
Why now?
Wages have fallen from 17% of total
economic output in 1980 to 11% in
2008, creating resentment among
workers who feel they are owed a
bigger share of China’s new wealth.
At the same time there are many more
wealthy people. The gap between rich
and poor is as much as the U.S.
38. Most SE plants
Low wages
Poor benefits
Long hours
Forced overtime
Monotonous work
Strict discipline
Called ‘blood and sweat’ shops in China
44. Shocked the nation
People were glued to their television
sets and newspapers
Foxconn was roundly condemned and
many did not attribute the ‘blood and
sweat’ shop conditions to Foxconn
alone, but abhorred the conditions in
so many factories
47. Workers finally got a
30% - 70% wage
increase
Not because of the effort of the union
in the workplaces because it was a
fake union run by relatives of
managers; it was public pressure
Not only product knock-offs are fakes
48. But most workers don’t
despair, they fight back
Honda auto parts plants workers
organized in the summer of 2010
They had been working alongside
Japanese workers paid many times
(50X) what they received
54. Premier Wen Jiabao
Urged better treatment for the nation's
vast army of migrant labourers.
“Rural migrant workers are the main
army of the contemporary Chinese
industrial workforce. Our wealth and
our tall buildings are all distillations of
your hard work and sweat,” Wen told
a group of migrant workers in Beijing,
the People's Daily reported the
following day.
Wen was the first high ranking official
to comment publicly about strikes and
the current labour situation.
At the end of the meeting, which got
top billing on national TV, he said,
“The government and all parts of
society should treat young migrant
workers as they would treat their own
children.”
55. The first Honda parts
workers won 24% wage
increase
Strikes spread to other Honda parts
plants and they won 45% increase
56. And the strikes spread
elsewhere
E.g. Tianjin Mitsumi Electric workers
57. In Guangdong Province
alone
There were 90 work stoppages to
demand wage increases mainly in joint
ventures or auto parts and electronics
industries of the Pearl River Delta
(near Hong Kong)
58. But workers have been
striking in China for
years
Strikes aren’t illegal in China
In 1982 the right to strike was
removed from the constitution but
there’s no prohibition on strikes in law
As the income gap widens in China,
there is more and more resentment
10,000 ‘mass incidents’ in Pearl River
Delta alone; 80,000 countrywide
60. Today Chinese Workers
Are Fighting Back
Number of protests (gov’t calls them ‘mass
incidents’) continues to grow
In ‘05 official stats reported 87,000 and by ‘08 it
was 50% higher at 127,000
2011, 180,000 mass incidents
Typically fighting expropriation of homes and
land for resource developments (dams, mines
etc.) or construction
Industrialized regions 50% of ‘mass incidents’
were over wage arrears, workplace closures,
layoffs
61. Today, in some areas,
workers have more power
Elimination of the agricultural tax (over
5 years, now completely gone)
Migrant workers still have title to land
and the right to return
After being cheated in the economic
meltdown in fall 2008-early 2009,
many went home and stayed
Thus creating the most important
weapon labour has, a labour shortage
62. Those that returned to
the city (or never left)
Have seen Paris and don’t want to go
back home
They live in the cities and want a
better life:
– Housing, not just dormitories
– With kitchens, not just cafeteria food
– Consumer goods like what they produce
In order to achieve these goals they
need higher wages.
63. And today the strikes
and demonstrations
Are by employed workers
And are not just fighting for unpaid
wages, to receive the minimum wage,
to receive pay for overtime worked
But are about real increases, real
improvements to wages and working
conditions
Labour shortages and labour courage
have brought this about
66. Latest big strike
Yue Yuen, manufacturer of Adidas,
Nike, Timberland and Converse shoes
in southeast (20% of world market for
sports and casual shoes)
40,000 workers cheated out of social
security premiums not paid by
employer: unemployment, old age
pension, medical, maternity and
occupational injury insurances
Also, majority of workers were not paid
housing funds
67. Benefits paid on average
salary vs. actual monthly
salary
Workers would thus receive lower retirement
benefits
According to local labour laws and regulations,
employers must pay an amount equal to about 11
percent of workers' salaries for their social security
and other welfare categories, while the workers pay
8 percent of their salaries, "But the company never
paid its part for the workers," said the worker.
This is a common practice among manufacturing
employers
69. First 600 stormed out
of work April 5, 2014
Blocked roads
Joined by thousands more on
following Monday and Tuesday
A human resources executive who
requested anonymity confirmed that
the social benefit payments had been
shorted. Only about 1,000 workers of
the plant's 45,000 have been paid
housing funds, he said.
72. Effect of Strike and
Mediation Efforts
At first the employer agreed to start paying correct insurance premiums but
balked at retroactive payments
Nie Xin, an official from the city's publicity department, said Dongguan city
government paid great attention to the case after the strike took place at Yue
Yuan
A special task force that consisted of more than 80 government officials, trade
union executives, legal and labour experts, lawyers and police officers, was
immediately set up to help mediate the strike, which raised concerns at home
and abroad, Nie told China Daily.
"The task force members met worker representatives to listen to their account
and request, and organized discussions with company bosses and senior
executives in the past weeks," Nie said.
"The special task force has been working hard to try to make both parties of
labour and capital reach an agreement according to laws, regulation and
rules," he added.
Employer finally agreed to pay retroactive insurance premiums
73. Lin Dong
Shenzhen Labour Activist
Arrested on 22 April
after advising striking
workers at the Yue
Yuen factory, is being
held under a 30-day
detention order at the
Dongguan Municipal
Detention Centre on
suspicion of “picking
quarrels and creating
trouble”
Colleague, Zhang Zhiru,
detained 2 days and
released
74. Who will lead the
workers?
What about unions in China today?
76. China has many
challenges
And a good opportunity
to build many successes
for workers, and a
return to a more
egalitarian society
In the Year of the Horse
and beyond
Thanks very much.
