Research workers in Shenzhen: Explore the breeding ground of Foxconn's jumping door

14th night, Shenzhen Foxconn Longhua plant to send staff to jump the tragedy: a 21-year-old Anhui male workers, from the dormitory building 7 floor fell, on the spot killed. The next morning, Foxconn Science and Technology Group Media office, the man surnamed Liang, found in his body around stab wounds, while on the roof of the 7 floor found a bloody dagger.　　This is the nineth time this year since January, Foxconn's workers jumped off the suicide accident. Why does Foxconn frequent the extreme events that employees use to end their lives by jumping? What is behind it that causes us to ponder the social reasons?　　 Reporter recently interviewed the Chinese People's University of China, Lixiong, an associate professor of labor and personnel, he analyzed to reporters, including workers, enterprises, trade unions and even the social environment of many factors. Migrant workers: Labor intensity Big Entertainment poor labor unions lack of commitment to work and welfare of Chinese workers Lixiong, a member of the People's University research group, went to Shenzhen to investigate the situation of peasant workers in 2005.　　Reporter in his exclusive provide to the daily report of the survey, the survey of Shenzhen migrant workers to control the working hours within 8 hours of less than 50%, work more than 8 hours a day to 52.9%, more than half (50.2%) of the migrant workers in the near one months can not guarantee 4 days of rest. After a reporter in the "latent" Shenzhen Foxconn nearly one months after the disclosure, each Foxconn employees will sign a "voluntary overtime cut knot book", then overtime is no longer subject to the law of the monthly limit of 36 hours of constraint.　　But "This is not a bad thing", on the contrary, in many workers ' eyes, the factory that works overtime is a ' good factory ', because ' no overtime, no money '. "Foxconn has been the tragedy of a succession of employees, in fact, this reflects the current migrant workers are generally in a state of lack of recreational and cultural life," Lixiong said, "because of the pressure of survival, most of them in their spare time to continue to work overtime, in the face of the boring work environment still need to concentrate on working, which is overdrawn their young life. "Lixiong also found that when labor rights were impaired, only 20% farmers ' unions turned to the Enterprise Labor Dispute Committee for help, while the remainder said that" companies did not have an arbitration body "or" never heard of it ".　　Survey samples showed that more than 85% of migrant workers did not join the union, and nearly 90% migrant workers said they had not been helped by the Union. "Because the internal trade union is a part of the enterprise, some of the trade unions are in charge of the company's management, which causes some trade unions to actually rarely speak for the workers," Lixiong to the People's Daily, "in this mode, even if there are Foxconn employees to jump suicide, It will be difficult to use union power to ease the situation in future. "Enterprise side: GDP priority blindly pursuit of profit lack of human management" jump door "after the incident, the public opinion will be directed at the" militarization "of Foxconn management model.　　Lixiong to reporters to analyze the shortcomings of the strict management of enterprises. "The enterprise to the employees ' captive ', this is the lack of humanized management model." When an enterprise wants toIt is difficult for employees to feel the dignity of their employees, whether they are suspicious of theft, or even beaten and scolded.　　Liu Baofeng, a psychologist, thinks that managers should care more about their employees, such as organizing their employees ' recreational activities regularly, giving them birthdays and so on, so that employees feel "human". During the interview, Lixiong repeatedly stressed the importance of enterprise "humanized management".　　According to him, many factories in Shenzhen are in the closed management, employees work, eat, sleep, rest in the factory, which effectively blocked the release of the pressure of employees export.　　The Foxconn employee, who has resigned, told reporters in an interview that monotonous repetitive work had trained them into robots. "Migrant workers have their own jobs, but they should also have a life of their own."　　"Lixiong said. But in fact, we have to ask why companies can not be more "warm" to manage employees behind, but also have to mention the local government to GDP first, the use of tax revenue to measure the "merit" of the deeper reasons.　　This is to a large extent forced the enterprise "must be profit-oriented, the staff as a production machine." Lixiong pointed out the negative impact of this GDP priority on protecting peasant workers ' rights and interests. Since the 1980s, our country has been emphasizing the principle of ' efficiency first, taking equity into consideration ', which gradually evolves into ' only efficiency ' theory, and even ' only GDP ', and economic development becomes the only index of the examination officials. In order to attract investment and develop local economy, preferential policies are attracting capital investment in various places, but this kind of investment often comes at the expense of local tax, environment and employee's benefits. To attract and retain investment, local governments can only make concessions in terms of labour monitoring and social security. The survey found that the peasant workers labor protection and Social security done well in the region, often in a disadvantageous position in the competition. "Lixiong that in addition to government contributions to the tax, it should also shoulder other social responsibilities." "This social responsibility is not only to donate in the face of catastrophe, but to create a comfortable working environment for employees and create a harmonious working atmosphere in day-to-day management." "A bit relieved," Foxconn Media spokesman Ch May 16, said Foxconn is actively and has developed measures to divert staff pressure.　　 It is said that Foxconn has integrated the group's resources, set up a staff care center, use the 24-hour duty Hotline 78585 (please help me), so that staff call for advice and help in a timely manner. Social environment: hukou policy excludes peasant workers from forming their own interest groups no matter what kind of enterprises, can not get rid of social environment and independent existence.　　The high income of capital, the low income of the laborer, the high Social security degree and the low Social security level of the migrant workers are not only the problem of the Foxconn Enterprise, but the general problems faced by Chinese workers. Lixiong in the research report that, because of the exclusion of household registration system, migrant workers in their work in the city is often at the edge of society,Because of political, social and other reasons, it is difficult to form a group of interests, there is no spokesperson for the interests, so although with a large number, it is difficult to form a force to influence the development of social protection policy for migrant workers.　　There is a set of data in his sample: In answer to the question of whether the local staff and the foreign staff can be treated equally by the unit managers, 1/4 of the migrant workers choose "No" and 17.2% of the migrant workers choose "Yes" when they answer "there is no arbitrary abuse of migrant workers". "In the absence of government and non-governmental organizations, migrant workers encounter difficulties, the first choice for help only friends, the government to help only a very small number." When their interests are violated, often also choose friends and relatives to help, some people choose to endure silently. "Based on similar considerations, there are also suggestions from social experts that government departments, social organizations and enterprises should be asked to form a research group to Foxconn to carry out a research project to study the economic and social reasons behind the suicides."　　From this point of view, the problems that Foxconn encounters are in fact of universal significance. "In order to change this situation, we must strengthen the participation of the stakeholders (migrant workers) in public affairs, perfect the system of deputies selection, reform the household registration system, perfect the procedure of public policy formulation, and give full play to the role of the non-governmental organizations." Of course, this requires a longer process. Lixiong finally told reporters.　　 He thinks this is the fundamental strategy to stop the "jumping door" from happening again.
