The Taiwan-owned company is China\u2019s largest exporter, employing 1.1 million workers in the country, and has a reputation for labour abuses, safety violations, and brutal military-style management methods.<\/p>\n<p>Foxconn has long been tainted by scandals especially since a spate of worker suicides at its massive Shenzhen plants that became world news in 2010. Since then the company has shifted much production to inland regions such as Shanxi, Sichuan and Henan, where wages are lower and it has been courted by local governments. But new scandals have erupted including the coercion of student labour to work as Foxconn \u2018interns\u2019. A strike at one Foxconn plant in June led to the dismissal of all the workers involved.<\/p>\n<p>The Shanxi Foxconn plant, located in Taiyuan City, employs 79,000 workers. Workers told news agencies that the riot first started as a fight between a few security guards and workers. The company\u2019s security guards, like the many ex-military personnel among its supervisory staff, have a reputation for strictness and aggression toward assembly-line workers. The weekend\u2019s eruption of anger should therefore come as no surprise. Many commentators are predicting more riots at Foxconn factories and similar sweatshops in China.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSuch riots have become in some ways inevitable,\u201d says labour advocate Liu Kaiming in Shenzhen. \u201cIt\u2019s no longer simply a matter of raising the wages.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A report by several Chinese and Taiwanese universities published last October showed that nearly 28 percent of Foxconn workers have been verbally insulted by supervisors or security personnel, and 16 percent have suffered physical abuse. \u201cWorkers aren\u2019t allowed to talk, smile, sit down, walk around or move unnecessarily during their long working hours, which require them to finish 20,000 products every day,\u201d this report stated.<\/p>\n<p>The pent up anger of Taiyuan workers against this routine mistreatment exploded on Sunday night. A relatively trivial altercation between guards and workers returning to their dormitories seems to have set off the riot, which soon spread, with workers attacking police cars, metal gates and shop windows within the factory compound. Microblog postings stated that \u201cfactory guards had beaten workers and that sparked the melee\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Targeting security guards<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A worker told the South China Morning Post \u201cThousands of angry workers searched and beat up every security guard they saw.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A report by Xinhua claimed that regional rivalries \u2013 between workers from Shandong and Henan provinces \u2013 may have played a part in the clashes. The roll out of Apple\u2019s iPhone 5 has led to the transfer of workers from some of Foxconn\u2019s other manufacturing facilities to the Taiyuan plant. Especially given the absence of genuine workers\u2019 unions, which are outlawed in China, regional rivalries can become a serious problem in the workplace. But it is also possible the Xinhua report is innacurate or reflects an attempt by the state media to steer blame away from Foxconn and its hardline methods.<\/p>\n<p>Most workers at Foxconn and throughout manufacturing industry are migrants on temporary contracts. Managements practise segregation and workers are often forced to band together with others from the same home province in order to pursue grievances. The absence of unions and repression against workers who attempt to organise, means there is no organised force to unify workers on a class basis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pressure cooker society<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The mass unrest at Foxconn is symptomatic of wider tensions in China and especially within industry. The massive rich-poor divide and a sharp economic slowdown have resulted in a \u2018pressure cooker society\u2019. The Taiyuan riot comes just weeks before the \u2018communist\u2019 dictatorship changes its top leadership. What happened at Foxconn on Sunday could happen across China in the period ahead, something that magnifies the problems of the one-party regime which is more divided and factionalised than at any time for at least two decades.<\/p>\n<p>The China Beige Book, a survey of economic trends produced by a government think tank, found one-fifth of surveyed companies were cutting staff, an increase from 13 percent in the previous quarter. The survey showed that 5 percent of companies reported strikes. Many of the strikes this year are related to the economic slowdown with workers demanding payment of overdue wages from failing companies, or pressing for compensation when factories in coastal provinces relocate to interior cities where labour is cheaper.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/media.chinaworker.info\/2013\/08\/Foxcon-Riot-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1331\" alt=\"Foxcon Riot 2\" src=\"http:\/\/media.chinaworker.info\/2013\/08\/Foxcon-Riot-2-300x226.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media1.chinaworker.info\/2013\/08\/Foxcon-Riot-2-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media1.chinaworker.info\/2013\/08\/Foxcon-Riot-2-72x55.jpg 72w, https:\/\/media1.chinaworker.info\/2013\/08\/Foxcon-Riot-2-310x233.jpg 310w, https:\/\/media1.chinaworker.info\/2013\/08\/Foxcon-Riot-2-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/media1.chinaworker.info\/2013\/08\/Foxcon-Riot-2-60x45.jpg 60w, https:\/\/media1.chinaworker.info\/2013\/08\/Foxcon-Riot-2.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>iPhone 5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause of the launch of the iPhone 5, the workload of workers [at Foxconn] suddenly surges,\u201d said Hong Kong-based Students &amp; Scholars Against Corporate Misbehaviour (SACOM), in a report earlier this month. There is quite probably, therefore, a connection between the Taiyuan riot and the launch of the new iPhone 5. SACOM report widespread abuses at Foxconn factories, which continue despite claims by Apple and other corporate clients to have remedied these problems. These include excessive overtime working \u2013 well above that permitted by Chinese law \u2013 unpaid overtime and exposure to toxic substances. The working day at Foxconn plants regularly extends to three hours of overtime work. The work is intense due to its intricate nature and rapid technological change, which continually introduces new models and components. SACOM\u2019s report says some employees interviewed at Foxconn\u2019s factory in Zhengzhou had not had a day off in 30 days!<\/p>\n<p>Nor has the problem of conscript labour been eradicated. The Shanghai Daily recently reported \u201cThousands of students in an east China city are being forced to work at a Foxconn plant after classes were suspended at the beginning of the new semester.\u201d The students \u201cwere driven to a factory \u2026 after the plant couldn\u2019t find sufficient workers for the production of Apple\u2019s much-anticipated iPhone 5.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Not a sweatshop?<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nFoxconn is emblematic of globalised capitalism, with global brand companies outsourcing production to non-union sweatshops and then disclaiming responsibility for the inevitable abuses that occur. This model, and Foxconn\u2019s militarised production methods, has helped Apple become the most valuable company in stock market history. Last month the company reached a \u2018market-cap\u2019 (the total value of its shares) of over US$620 billion. The late Steve Jobs, former CEO of Apple, famously said of Foxconn after its suicide scandals, \u201cIt is not a sweatshop. You go in this place and it\u2019s a factory but, my gosh, they\u2019ve got restaurants and movie theaters and hospitals and swimming pools. For a factory, it\u2019s pretty nice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This rosy perspective is sharply at odds with the view of Wang Zhiqian, a Foxconn recruiter. \u201cIt\u2019s definitely not a happy place,\u201d he told the Washington Post (26 September 2012). \u201cIt\u2019s not about the money&#8230; It\u2019s a problem of management. It\u2019s a mess. The guards often abuse their power over the workers. We [Foxconn] attract many fewer workers now than in 2010. People would rather work at a hotel or other places. It\u2019s not a lack of workers in these areas \u2013 it\u2019s a problem of spiritual emptiness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The riot at Foxconn\u2019s Taiyuan plant, coming just weeks after the launch of the iPhone 5, sums up the brutality of modern capitalism and the ways in which labour is exploited for the super-profits of big corporations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>chinaworker.info<\/strong>\u00a0has long campaigned for independent and democratic trade unions to represent workers\u2019 interests.<\/p>\n<p>We oppose any police action or victimisation by the company against workers accused of involvement in the riot at Taiyuan \u2013 there must be an independent investigation of this incident involving elected representatives of Foxconn\u2019s workforce and the international trade union movement.<\/p>\n<p>Foxconn\u2019s security apparatus should be disbanded, with security duties performed instead by regular workers on an elected and rotational basis.<\/p>\n<p>Socialists and the\u00a0<strong>chinaworker.info<\/strong>\u00a0website call for Foxconn and the global technology giants it serves (which are actually just links in one huge production chain) to be taken into public ownership under the democratic control and management of the working class. This demand, which would open the way to ending today\u2019s inhuman production methods, guaranteeing decent wages and working conditions, needs to be taken up in China, Taiwan and internationally as part of the wider struggle for workers\u2019 rights and socialism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brutal conditions behind latest flare-up at iPhone manufacturer chinaworker.info reporters Wages make up just 2-5 percent of the iPhone\u2019s sale price, while Apple\u2019s profit is 57 percent of every iPhone sold.
