Chinese student after gaokao started reciting the Labor Laws when asked by reporter what she wishes for the future. Little does she know that our labor laws actively impede the economic progress of our great nation.

Workers from Hunan Bubugao protesting against wage arrears were dispersed by local police. Bubugao is a supermarket chain in Hunan, not to be confused with BBK Electronic Corporation, the parent company of Oppo, Vivo, and OnePlus, which shares the same name. 1/3
It appears that Bubugao has failed to pay its workers wages for several months now, in addition to failing to keep up with social and medical insurance for its workers. 2/3
We at ACFTU believes that the working class are incapable of producing true socialist art, therefore we applaud the closure of this migrant labor art museum to make way for true socialist art praising comrade Xi Jinping
A museum for migrant workers on the outskirts of Beijing, China, has been forced to close due to evictions, following the closure of another labor center and the Beijing #LGBTQ+ organization, as China tightens restrictions on social movement organizations.

1/ CLB sent out our monthly email newsletter last week, in which we analyse the previous month's @CLBStrikeMap data. This month, we focused on the surge in factory protests in China and recent strikes by food delivery workers. Read it online here: clb.org.hk/en/content/food-d…
Caixin reports that more Chinese rural workers are choosing to stay home and seek work in their own provinces rather than becoming migrant workers. 1/5
Automation also plays a key role. Factory owners are more willing to invest in machines than workers post COVID Zero to hedge against future disruptions to production. 4/5
Correction: 71.09 million migrant children and 66.93 million stay home children. We use a different number tier system in Chinese so my bilingual brain fucked up.
A Beijing delivery worker died of a heart attack after delivering 556 packages in a single day. China Labor Bulletin contacted our Fengtai representative and he said: we will be sending his family a fruit basket.
A group of employees at Pudong Development Bank went on strike over lowered wages. The bank responded by labeling the strike as "group activity 群体聚集" which is Chinese government speak for mob activity used as an excuse for crackdowns. 1/3
The bank also said that the employees are not bank employees but rather from an outsourcing company. This is a common tactic employed by Chinese businesses to push away responsibilities in case of labor disputes. 2/3
According to a report release a few days ago by UNICEF, there are 710.9 million migrant children and 669.3 million "stay home" children with migrant worker parents in China. 1/5
The issues of migrant children and "stay home" children are fundamentally labor issues caused by the proliferation of precarious migrant labor in China. We at ACFTU, however, would like to say - fuck those kids. 4/5
