Workers' lives are worthless

I don't want to talk about it, but I personally think it reflects China's sweatshop system and the protection of workers in American factories. I certainly agree that Fuyao cannot set up a trade union, because the trade union system in the West is objectively a vampire that eats both sides of the enterprise and workers, hindering production efficiency. However, even though most people voted against the union, Fuyao has not fulfilled its promise to workers that "it can directly provide opinions with enterprises," has not reflected on its unreasonable system, and has not improved workers' working conditions. Seeing that the Americans in the Fuyao factory in the United States all have goggles and protective gloves, while the workers in the Chinese factory are picking up glass with their bare hands, I really feel sad for the assembly line workers in our country. Enterprises do not want to improve the conditions of workers, but are willing to take it? Please ask anti-union lobbying associations to "brainwash" workers. After all, workers' health is worthless. But although the working environment is much better than that of Chinese factories, Americans still feel that Fuyao is not doing enough. Compared with the conditions in GM factories, of course, it is not enough. It is enough to see how disregard of local laws and how low the standards are in Chinese factories.

But Niu X is that Fuyao's robber logic is that I opened a factory in your United States, saved your local economy, and put more than 2,000 people back to work. I'm here to contribute, you don't mind me, otherwise I will withdraw. So they will not do things according to local standards, not only the working conditions are not up to standard, but they even want to extend the eight-hour workday. What American workers think is that when you open a factory in the United States, we work in the United States and should work in accordance with American work laws and enjoy benefits. Fuyao must also act in accordance with American laws. And Fuyao thinks, this is a Chinese factory, I want to get it how I want, I want to make a profit as soon as possible, you negotiate with me, I will fire you, anyway, there are a lot of unemployed people in the United States waiting for this job. Therefore, in order to save jobs, most Americans voted against unionization.

Capitalists are the same everywhere, and working people are oppressed the same everywhere, so the perfection and enforcement of labor laws are very important. American workers can have eight-hour workdays and goggles, thanks to the laws of the United States, and China, hehe.

The documentary obviously has a political stance, and I have said it along the lines of its stance. This is not called black, because these problems do exist.
