WTF kind of math is this

everyone earns 76,900,00
but 75% earn 43,700,00

how is that possible, if everyone is earning 100 then 75% cannot earn 50 because they are already earning 100

I think thats good enough for developing country like VN. Chengdu Foxconn’s workers’ base wages are only 2000 RMB ($303.82USD) and they even cant get their promised reward while VN workers assemblying Airpod get upto 433 USD per month.

-----------------

The dispatch workers who participated in this protest are employed by Tianzao, Yongxinghe, Siyang, and other dispatch companies. Until now, they have not received their owed wages and promised rewards from August, September and October.


At the start of November, there was a call for rights defense actions circulating among Foxconn workers on Wechat, calling on dispatch workers from the Tianzao, Yongxinghe, Siyang and other dispatch companies, and those who did not receive their August, September and October rewards to defend their rights and claim their owed wages.

Chengdu Foxconn has many issues:

Working at Foxconn without a contract

Chengdu Foxconn usually outsources the recruitment of workers to a large number of labor dispatch companies. This means that a lot of workers are attracted to the high rewards and bonuses promised by intermediaries during peak season. These intermediaries then introduce workers to dispatch companies, who then sign a contract with workers. The workers are subsequently sent to the Chengdu Foxconn factory to work. Sometimes, workers are transferred back and forth between the intermediaries and dispatch companies. By doing this, Foxconn does not need to sign a contract with workers who are working on their production line. Therefore, when a lot of workers who have been deceived leave their jobs, a large labor force that is not aware of these insider tactics and traps can still be supplied to Foxconn to work. At the same time, Foxconn has avoided the basic legal responsibilities that an employer should bear. If workers are owed wages or forced to work, they cannot sue Foxconn in court as they have not signed a contract with the factory. Some workers said:”Foxconn needs to recruit workers, but does not sign a labor contract with them. They do this so that they can oppress workers more, and workers are only treated as slave labor. From using rewards to lure workers into the factory, to entrapping and oppressing workers, and then finally kicking them out, this behaviour is no different to a pyramid scheme. These actions only have one additional production element, the purpose is the same.”

How did these owed wages come about?

Regular workers at Chengdu Foxconn earn 11.49RMB/hour ($1.75USD/hour). Dispatch workers are paid according to hourly wages, of between 24 to 35RMB/hour ($3.65 - $5.32USD/hour). According to a dispatch worker at Foxconn, procedures for the payment of wages is that Foxconn pays dispatch workers the standard hourly rate for regular workers. Foxconn will also give dispatch companies a reward for helping them recruit workers. Dispatch companies usually use a portion of this reward to pay dispatch workers their owed wages.

Workers’ base wages are insufficient in sustaining their livelihoods. Chengdu Foxconn’s workers’ base wages are only 2000 RMB ($303.82USD). In the first month, there are deductions to workers’ wages including 400RMB ($60.76USD) in meals, 110RMB ($16.71USD) in utilities, 315RMB ($47.40USD) in social insurance, 50RMB ($7.60USD) for the physical examination, 20RMB ($3.04USD) for the dormitory key deposit, 15RMB ($2.28USD) to take photos. In total, around 900RMB ($136.72USD) is deducted, so workers only earn 1100RMB ($167.10USD) in wages. If workers have to support their family, spouses or parents, or if they need to pay off their housing loan, then the wages are far from enough for just normal living expenses.

Many workers are more willing to work at Chengdu Foxconn as dispatch workers via the dispatch company instead of applying to become a regular worker, because of the high rewards. As such, there are a large number of dispatch workers at the factory. One worker said that in the 80 workers he’d come across, there were only 15 regular workers and the remaining 65 workers were dispatch workers. And among the 15 regular workers, 12 were management staff and only 3 were real production level workers. When a factory employs dispatch workers, they do not need to purchase social insurance and the housing fund for workers, and do not have to take responsibility for work injuries.

These are actual job postings from Foxconn Chengdu paying 6-8k RMB per month.

3300 is less than 275 dollars a month. 75% earn less than 275 a month, could be earning 20 cents an hour. The key word is Less Than. Lolol.. Damn you guys are cheap.
