????富士康（Foxconn）鄭州工廠(chǎng)正在以瘋狂的速度組裝蘋(píng)果（Apple）iPhone 5。上周，在那里到底發(fā)生了什么事情？中國(guó)勞工權(quán)益組織與工廠(chǎng)母公司臺(tái)灣鴻海集團(tuán)（Hon Hai）各執(zhí)一詞。出于討論的目的，我們假設(shè)真相介于兩者之間。 ????紐約中國(guó)勞工觀(guān)察組織（China Labor Watch，CLW）稱(chēng)，上周五，約3,000至4,000名工人舉行罷工，導(dǎo)致當(dāng)天大部分時(shí)間，iPhone 5生產(chǎn)線(xiàn)“普遍處于癱瘓”狀態(tài)。 ????而鴻海集團(tuán)則斷然否認(rèn)了這種說(shuō)法，并對(duì)西方新聞媒體稱(chēng)，工廠(chǎng)只是在幾天前發(fā)生了“兩次持續(xù)時(shí)間很短、規(guī)模很小的糾紛”。該集團(tuán)在新聞發(fā)布會(huì)上表示：“不論是鄭州工廠(chǎng)還是其他富士康工廠(chǎng)，均未出現(xiàn)停工。生產(chǎn)仍在按計(jì)劃順利進(jìn)行?！?/p> ????但很明顯，那里確實(shí)發(fā)生了一些事情。據(jù)路透社（Reuters）報(bào)道，中國(guó)官方媒體新華社（Xinhua）援引鄭州市政府發(fā)言人的話(huà)稱(chēng)，周五，據(jù)稱(chēng)一名質(zhì)檢員遭到工人毆打，起因是工人對(duì)質(zhì)檢要求強(qiáng)烈不滿(mǎn)，結(jié)果大約100名富士康質(zhì)檢員拒絕工作，時(shí)間長(zhǎng)達(dá)一個(gè)小時(shí)。 ????鄭州工業(yè)區(qū)發(fā)言人告訴路透社：“加強(qiáng)iPhone 5質(zhì)檢的指示來(lái)自蘋(píng)果公司。之前，蘋(píng)果公司收到消費(fèi)者對(duì)于手機(jī)審美缺陷的投訴?！?/p> ????雖然我們第一次聽(tīng)說(shuō)“消費(fèi)者的眾多投訴”，但中國(guó)官方媒體支持中國(guó)勞工觀(guān)察組織關(guān)于周五停工的說(shuō)法，也證明了這種說(shuō)法的可信度。另外，中國(guó)勞工觀(guān)察組織的版本也比鴻海集團(tuán)的說(shuō)法透露了更多細(xì)節(jié)。 ????據(jù)中國(guó)勞工觀(guān)察組織稱(chēng)： ????“據(jù)報(bào)道，工廠(chǎng)管理層和蘋(píng)果公司并未考慮設(shè)計(jì)缺陷，而是對(duì)工人提出嚴(yán)格的質(zhì)量要求，其中包括0.02mm的凹陷標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，以及對(duì)邊框及后蓋劃痕的要求。在這樣的要求下，工人根本無(wú)法生產(chǎn)出符合標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的iPhone手機(jī)。這給工人造成了巨大壓力。此外，時(shí)值中國(guó)法定假期，工人們卻得不到休假。這一系列因素導(dǎo)致了罷工。 ????“質(zhì)檢員也參與罷工，這一點(diǎn)并不意外。據(jù)工人透露，在K廠(chǎng)區(qū)，工人和質(zhì)檢員發(fā)生了一起沖突，導(dǎo)致CA質(zhì)檢室遭到破壞，多人受傷，另有多人住院治療。之后，K廠(chǎng)區(qū)又發(fā)生了一起類(lèi)似沖突，多名質(zhì)檢員遭到毆打。昨天，L廠(chǎng)區(qū)的質(zhì)檢員受到人身威脅。但質(zhì)檢員向工廠(chǎng)管理層報(bào)告這些問(wèn)題時(shí)，管理人員卻無(wú)視矛盾的嚴(yán)重性。于是，所有日班和夜班的質(zhì)檢員在今天集體停工，造成生產(chǎn)線(xiàn)癱瘓?！?/p> |
????Let's assume for the sake of argument that the truth of what happened last week at Foxconn's Zhengzhou factory complex -- where Apple's iPhone 5s are being assembled at a furious pace -- lies somewhere between a Chinese labor advocacy group's account and that of the factory's owner, Taiwan-based Hon Hai. ????The New York office of China Labor Watch claims that 3,000 to 4,000 workers went on strike last Friday, causing a "widespread work stoppage" on the iPhone 5 factory floor that lasted most of the day. ????Hon Hai categorically denied the report, telling western news organizations that the plant suffered only "two brief and small disputes" several days earlier. "There has been no workplace stoppage in that facility or any other Foxconn facility," it declared in a press release, "and production has continued on schedule." ????But something clearly happened. According to Reuters, China's official Xinhua news agency quoted a government spokesman in Zhengzhou as saying some 100 Foxconn quality inspectors refused to work for an hour on Friday after one was allegedly beaten by workers irate over the inspection demands. ????"The instruction to strengthen quality inspections for the iPhone 5 was given by Apple Inc.," a spokesman for the Zhengzhou industrial zone told Reuters, "following multiple complaints from customers regarding aesthetic flaws in the phone." ????The "multiple complaints from customers" is news to us, but the fact that the official Chinese news agency supports China Labor Watch's (CLW) account of a Friday labor stoppage lends a bit more credence to their side of the story. CLW's version also has the benefit of offering a lot more detail than Hon Hai's. ????According to CLW: ????"It was reported that factory management and Apple, despite design defects, raised strict quality demands on workers, including indentations standards of 0.02mm and demands related to scratches on frames and back covers. With such demands, employees could not even turn out iPhones that met the standard. This led to a tremendous amount of pressure on workers. On top of this, they were not permitted to have a vacation during the holiday. This combination of factors led to the strike. ????"That quality control inspectors would also strike is of no surprise. According to workers, there was a fight between workers and quality control inspectors in area K that led to the damage in inspection room CA, the injury of some people, and the hospitalization of others. After this, another similar incident occurred in area K, once again leading to quality control inspectors getting beat up. Yesterday, inspectors in area L received physical threats. When inspectors reported these issues to factory management, the management simply ignored and turned their back on the issue. For these reasons, all day and night shift inspectors carried out a work stoppage today that paralyzed the production lines." |
