Honda halted vehicle production at all four of its plants in China
According to the latest reports, Honda has halted vehicle production in China at least until Saturday (May 29). Apparently, the production at all four of the plants in China was stopped after 1,850 workers at a parts-making unit went on strike demanding pay raise.

“China is experiencing a labor shortage that’s shifting the natural bargaining power to workers,” said Chang-Hee Lee, a Beijing-based industrial relations specialist at the International Labor Organization.

uaw_lax I agree with our comments. It is delusional remarks from some that amuses me so. Ironic isn't it, the Chinese are learning quickly that Capitalistic (read:greedy bastards)do not give a rats *ss about workers and will spare no mercy when it comes to fully overwork (read: abuse and exploit) them to maximize their profits at the behest of their Corporate overlords (read: overpaid execs).

Funny, isn't it all the transplant auto manufacturers in the U.S. (BMW, Honda, Hyundai, Kia Mercedes, Nissan, and Toyota) don't or wont' employ American Union workers, yet in their own home countries, they fully employ union workers.

This makes American workers more like 2nd class indentured wage earners working in a 3rd world workforce with no protection unlike the union workers employed by these transplants back on their own home turf. So much for the power of our empire.

acronis..Excellnt point, somtimes I feel as though I am the only one on this site that sees the good in unions. My union has fought to make my job safe, gave me a healthy enviorment to work in and good wages. Many may say unions are greedy and want to destroy the company by asking for good wages. Our wages at GM has been the same since 2003 also last yaer we gave up a lot to help keep GM going. Our working wage is not $75 an hour but thats what used to cost GM to take care of it's retired work force until last year.

A lot of the so-called "disdain" for unions were based on policies crafted by the hypocritics, in both parties, who along with their sycophantic accolites, have worked tirelessly to undermine and vilify unions in the U.S.

The results of these anti-union policies have created a transitory and vulnerable workforce here in the U.S. In fact, corporate outsourcing has had the desired destabilizing effect on both domestic and trade policies since the passage of NAFTA.

This in large part has succeeded in driving down wages and continues to stifle any further expansion of our shrinking, American middle class and blue collar worker in the U.S.

This is one of the main reason why outsourcing is so over utilized as a weapon to cripple any possibility of a resurgence of a unionized workforce.
