Chinese labor protest and trade unions

Abstract:: Foxconn Technology Group, a Taiwanese-owned transnational corporation founded in Taipei in 1974, holds more than 50 percent of the market share in global electronics manufacturing. 1 Its 1.4 million workers in China are comprised mostly of rural migrants in their late teens to twenties. This chapter considers their struggle for labor rights, the nature of union representation at the giant firm, and the joint responsibility of the enterprise and government for the protection of workers.
