2010 Chinese labour unrest information


Reported locations of labour incidents (including strikes, protests, and confrontations) in China in 2010

The 2010 Chinese labour unrest was a series of labour disputes, strike actions, and protests in the south of the People's Republic of China that saw striking workers successfully receive higher pay packages.[1][2]

Among the incidents were a string of employee suicides at Taiwan-owned electronics manufacturer Foxconn and strike actions at Honda factories in Guangdong province, both of which resulted in wage increases.[3]

The Economist stated that wages were merely rising to make up for lost ground due to wage freezes,[4] and China's inflationary monetary environment at the time made regular pay rises a necessity for workers concerned with maintaining a high quality of life.[citation needed] Reuters quoted Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda, as saying, "this has both good and bad elements. A wage increase is not necessarily bad if properly managed. The experience of the past 100 years shows that auto workers become auto consumers also."[5]

The events at Honda and Foxconn were followed by a string of labour-related protests and strikes at foreign-owned factories,[2] mostly in the south of the country.[1]
