A week after 30,000 workers from the Yue Yuen shoe factory in Dongguan in southern China’s Guangdong province took to the streets over invalid contracts, 2,000 workers from another of the company’s factories, located in Ji’an in eastern China’s Jiangxi province, have also joined the strike, reports the Hong Kong-based Oriental Daily.
Non contente de les escroquer en ne payant pas les cotisations, la société rédige ses contrats de travail de façon non contraignante pour elle (version locale de CDD ?) ce qui empêche les salariés de se faire enregistrer sur place…
The protest began on Apr. 14 when workers found out that the factory had failed to pay its employees their full social security and housing fund contributions.
A senior factory worker surnamed Li told the web portal Nanfang that he was unable to use his permanent work contract as evidence of local residence in order to enroll his child in a local school because he was told his contract was not legally binding. Migrant workers like Li must present documents which prove to the local authority that they and their family members have stayed in the province for at least five years before their children are allowed to study in the area.
In addition to the invalid contracts, the factory also cheated its workers in regards to their insurance packages, with some having to pay 40,000 yuan (US$6,400) while others only had to pay 10,000 yuan (US$1,600) for the same scheme. Following these issues coming to light, workers decided to strike to demand that the factory sign new contracts with them and improve their working conditions.
