The Labour Conflict In The Pearl River Delta Is Increasing The Ability Of The Government To Coordinate.

With the impact of macroeconomic regulation and the global financial crisis since last year, the collapse and layoffs of export processing and manufacturing enterprises in the Pearl River Delta have increased.

In 2008, labour disputes in Guangdong increased by 3 times compared with the same period last year.

The cause is a common labor dispute - the contract between the Kaida toy factory and more than 380 workers has been terminating, and the employers and employees have failed to reach agreement on the issue of compensation after the termination of the labor contract.

According to data from SAI, labour conflicts in Guangdong increased 3 times between 1 and June compared with the same period last year.

Take Shenzhen as an example, from 1 to September, the court system handled 30 thousand cases of labour disputes, compared with 8900 in the same period last year.

The labor dispute arbitration system received 36000 cases of labor dispute arbitration cases from 1 to October, compared with 10000 in the same period last year.

Last year, there were more than 10 thousand conflicts caused by industrial disputes.

There is no final data coming out this year, but experience and observation should be much higher than last year, "Dr. Liu Kaiming, director of social responsibility international (SAI), said.

At the same time, because of business difficulties, business owners are unwilling to give workers financial compensation in accordance with the law, and all kinds of behaviors such as sudden escape will result in labor conflicts.

The strength of the peasant workers' checks and balances is too weak, the trade union organizations representing the interests of migrant workers are not perfect, and the private intermediary forces are insufficient, which makes the conflict between labor and capital easily become a social problem.

In spite of the collapse of two large toys under the banner of Dongguan Zhangmu head town, the local government took out funds from the finance, paid the wages of nearly 7000 workers in arrears, and defused a social crisis.

However, this Kaida toy factory incident reflects the government's ability to resolve the problem of conflicts between employers and employees.

Take the shoe industry as an example, what is facing is the reduction of export orders.

"International branding, they tell me now that basically 60% is in clearance, and only 40% is placing orders.

I think this is very conservative, "Li Peng, Secretary General of the Asian Footwear Association, said in an interview with Chinese entrepreneur.

Similar to footwear, toys, electronics, furniture, clothing, hardware...

The export enterprises of the Pearl River Delta can not escape the impact of the global financial crisis.

This is not the end of the labour conflict in the Pearl River Delta.

Workers are caught, businesses also lose, and the government has a lot of costs.

We see the increasing conflict between labour and capital.

(problem solving) the most important thing is that the workers have the strength to protect themselves, and at the same time let the non-governmental organizations develop, rather than the government.

All contradictions point to the government, all the difficulties are borne by the government, which is obviously unrealistic.

Liu Kaiming thinks so.
