In the "lighting industry" keyword, 80% of the information related to the lighting industry is related to the "GE Incident" (America's non-profit research agency announced PolicyMattersOhio's investigation report on GE's suspected illegal employment in Xiamen, Tongshida Exposed to sweatshops, exploiting cheap labor in China.) Relevant. Whether it is industry media, mass media, or authoritative economic newspapers or websites, it has covered the article "GE Incident" in a large space. This is in the history of China's lighting industry. Perhaps the first big event, big news, and big focus that has been so much concerned by the society.
All eyes are on GE's Xiamen production base - Xiamen Tongshida Lighting Co., Ltd. - a Sino-US joint venture that has been low-key (the state-owned Xiamen Light Industry Group holds 60% of the shares, and GE accounts for 40% of the shares). Under the chase of high-intensity spotlights and media, it is no longer possible to hide. The failure of Toshida to be exposed is mainly manifested in the following aspects: First, the average working time of production workers is 13 hours per day without overtime; secondly, the production method of the comprehensive time system is not solved at all; the third is 17 first-line Workers were found to have the highest urinary mercury levels of 0.038 mg/m3 (hazardous substances exceeded the standard). In the "sensitive period" of the "New Labor Contract Law", the "GE Incident" apparently could not escape the attention of the outside world, and Tongshida was pushed to the cusp.
The whole process of the incident can be described as twists and turns: first, the US PMO publicly released the investigation report on illegal employment of the GE Xiamen factory; then the domestic and foreign media competed to follow up the investigation and report, and suddenly a wave of waves was suddenly formed; a few days later, GE and Tongshida stood up to clarify the facts. ——The PMO survey report is one-sided and irresponsible. Topstar is in full production and operation in accordance with international laws and regulations. PMO refers to Tongshida, whose purpose is to exert pressure on GE to force it to return to the United States to invest and grab back the rice bowl. Originally thought that this event should be completed at this point, but on April 17, the "Financial Circle" (website) published another article from "21st Century Business Herald". The article pointed out that "China National Federation of Trade Unions said that GE Tenstar was seriously breaking the law, and the treatment of Chinese and American employees was 20 times worse." The publication of this article has once again caused the turmoil that has gradually subsided. On April 18th, the National Federation of Trade Unions stood up and pointed out that the media of the previous day ("21st Century Business Herald") reported false.
At this point, I believe that the outcome of the whole incident is not the most important. The important thing is that the “GE Incident†directly reflects the production and labor status of the Chinese lighting industry, and is also interrogating the employment system of the lighting enterprise. China is a big country in the production and sales of energy-saving lamps. The annual export volume of energy-saving lamps reaches billions. The main reason why China can achieve the status of a major producer of energy-saving lamps is that China has low labor costs and a large number of workers. However, at present, most of the energy-saving lamp manufacturers use the piece-rate method to hire labor, the production workshops and equipment are relatively simple, and the personal and rights of the workers are not fully guaranteed. This state of employment directly reflects the institutional problems under the new situation.
The so-called "to take the lead and move the whole situation." Regardless of the final outcome, the energy-saving lamp industry with relatively high pollution level must be included in the line of sight of the relevant national authorities. Next, it may be that not only the Tongshida family but the entire lighting company, at least the energy-saving lamp manufacturer.
