The Shenzhen Municipal Trade Union has demanded that IBM reinstate the 20 workers
representatives sacked during the ten-day strike at the IBM ISTC
factory which ended 12 March. Thus far however the company has refused
and the union is now considering legal action.
“We strongly demanded that IBM rescind the decision and reinstate the workers but the company refused,” said Li Ying, director at the union’s legal department. “We will resolve the issue through the legal process.”
The Southern Metropolis Daily reported Thursday that the union had sent lawyers to provide legal assistance to the fired workers and help them file for arbitration, a mandatory first step in the legal process for labour disputes in China.
While almost all the strikers have now signed some kind of compensation agreement, the 20 sacked workers’ representatives have been left in the lurch. “I have worked here for ten and a half years and now I am fired for being an ‘agitator’. This is not right.” said Wen Yong, one of the sacked representatives.
The Southern Metropolis Daily said that some workers with fewer years of service chose to stay and get transaction compensation of 30,000 yuan, while some veterans chose to leave IBM for good and get to be paid more.

Chine : Répression anti-syndicale et grève chez IBM
Plus de 1000 salariés d’IBM Systems Technology
Co ( ISTC ), l’unité de fabrication de serveur d’IBM,ont débrayé le 3
mars pour protester contre l’offre d’indemnités de l’ usine, suite à
l’acquisition prévue par le géant de de l’informatique Lenovo plus tard
cette année. En rétorsion, la direction a mis fin aux contrats de
travail de 19 salariés parce qu’ils "auraient violé les politiques de l’entreprise en provoquant un arrêt de la production
(autrement dit fait la grève)". La grève entre dans son huitième jour.
Et certains des travailleurs ont organisé un sit-in de protestation
lundi soir. Environ 100 grévistes auraient signé un accord, les autres
ouvriers préférant continuer la lutte à « protéger leurs droits et
défendre leurs avantages ».
