暗访揭露富士康数宗“罪” |
| A report on Foxconn by university teachers and students from the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan was published on Oct. 9th, Beijing Evening News reports. The report details Foxconn's managerial shortcomings, including obligatory overtime, poor workplace safety, and excessive work pressure, which, it says, contributed to the serial suicides. The findings are based on 1,736 questionnaires completed in 12 Foxconn plants in Shenzhen, Kunshan and elsewhere. Fourteen investigators obtained first-hand information by working undercover in the plants. |
《北京晚报》报道，10月9日，一份《富士康调研报告》由内地及港台高校师生联合发布。报告细举了富士康管理中的数宗“罪”，直指强制加班、漠视职业安全、压力巨大的工作环境等，是富士康“连环跳”事件的祸首。调查结论不仅来自富士康位于深圳、昆山等12个厂区的1736份问卷调查，更有14名调查团成员以打工者的身份、卧底富士康的生活体验作为依据。 |
| ※ Li Jing was one of the undercover investigators. She said Foxconn implements a strict administrative code of conduct. Any violation of discipline is harshly punished and the work manual lists 127 punishable offences. Supervisors often yell at subordinates even though it is prohibited by the manual. |
※ 李静（化名）是参与卧底暗访的调查员之一。她揭露，富士康实行的是一种十分严厉的管理措施，任何违反工作条例的行为都将受到严惩。在《富士康科技集团员工手册》里，仅涉及惩处的规定便有127条。尽管员工手册规定主管不能对下属员工凶，但主管们还是常常呵斥员工。 |
| ※ Foxconn workers rely on overtime to make a living wage. Around 75% only have 4 rest days per month, and 73.3% work more than 10 hours a day. But the rewards are poor. Foxconn announced salary increases of 30% following the suicides, but the increase was swallowed up by cancellation of bonuses and increased rents. Earlier this month, Foxconn said it was implementing a 100% pay rise, but most employees have little chance of seeing the cash. |
※ 富士康员工依赖加班才能维持生活。75%的工人“月平均休息天数”为4天，73.3%的工人“日均工作时间”在10小时以上，但对于提高收入的帮助甚微。跳楼事件之后，富士康宣布整体加薪30%，然而增加的部分立刻就因奖金减少以及周边房租上涨而抵消。本月初，富士康再次高调宣布加薪100%，不过对于许多员工来讲，兑现的日子显得很遥远。 |
