【禁聞】「奧林匹克奴隸」:大陸血汗工廠

【新唐人2012年1月26日訊】2012年倫敦奧運會的兩只獨眼怪獸吉祥物深受喜愛。然而，日前有英國媒體披露，生產吉祥物毛絨玩具的中國工廠卻是個環境惡劣、壓榨工人的「血汗工廠」。倫敦奧運會主辦方已宣佈展開全面調查。大陸人士表示，中國的「血汗工廠」比比皆是，勞工待遇低下現象早已存在。

英國《太陽報》1月19號發表了「奧林匹克的奴隸」獨家報導。報導指出，倫敦奧運會官方吉祥物是在中國的一家「血汗工廠」製造的。

報導認為，位於中國江蘇省鹽城市的「彩虹公司」，剝削工人，工人待遇偏低，月薪僅900多元人民幣。

報導還說，工人們沒有一天假日，每個月工作385個小時，約合每天12個小時。報導還援引工廠一位名叫張晴(譯音)的40歲女工的話說，她覺得精疲力盡，可是又沒有其他選擇。

《太陽報》的這篇報導引起了2012倫敦奧運會主辦方的關注。倫敦奧運主辦單位表示，已下令調查是否屬實，並將公布結果。

法律工作者、大陸維權人士李向陽指出，中國有30%輕工業產品出口到國外，這是中共的經濟支柱之一。假如要全面的提高勞工的工作報酬的話，中國會有大批的企業倒閉。中共為了穩定既得集團的利益，施行了潛規則，就是無情的剝奪勞工。

大陸法律維權人士李向陽：「中國人口多，就業機會相對說是少的，一個農民工假如為了自己工作報酬強硬抗爭的話，他就會喪失他的勞動崗位。特別是中國的農民工為了求生存，不得不付出100份的汗水來拿一份、兩份的工資，這是中國通常的狀況。」

江蘇經商人士王承志表示，中共統治中國這麼多年來，一直使用壓制政策，工人根本沒有說話的權利和機會，大陸自上而下，在專制政權裡產生的「血汗工廠」太多了。

江蘇商人王承志：「工資這麼低，『血汗工廠』這種事情太多了太多了，舉不勝舉。你到了下面市級政府，包括縣級政府、省裡的政府，它都是獨裁統治。他只要把每個地方獨裁的NO.1把它買通好，你就再告也沒有用。甚至誰告了，把他抓起來坐監獄，找個毛病說他尋釁滋事，擾亂社會治安，給他安個罪名，然後就把他抓起來，告了也沒有用。」

「中國勞動者聯盟」報導，2012年1月4號下午，港資企業「中擴永威」旗下「梧州永威玩具廠」，因拖欠工資和元旦沒有發加班費，導致全體工人大罷工。然而當局派出大批警察在現場戒備，防止工人上街。

去年，總部設在香港的「中國勞工觀察」組織公布一份調查報告，報告指出，中國生產名牌電子產品的企業工作條件惡劣，工人們經常被迫超時加班，很不人道。這是針對大陸的10家跨國集團公司，調查後得出的結論。

今年倫敦奧運與殘奧吉祥物是溫洛克（Wenlock）和曼德維爾（Mandeville），外貌結合電影《怪獸電力公司》的獨眼怪「大眼仔」與電玩主角「刺蝟音速小子」。2010年8月英格蘭的「金熊公司」（Golden Bear）中標得到生產合約，隨後轉手承包給中國江蘇省鹽城市的「彩虹公司」。

Olympic Slaves in Mainland Sweatshops

People admired the two one-eyed mascots of the London

2012 Olympic Games, but British media revealed that the

Chinese toy factory which produces the mascots is a sweatshop

with poor working conditions that are draining workers.

The London Organising Committee has announced its full

investigation.

Many Chinese said that sweatshops exist all over China,

with longstanding poor treatment of workers.

British "Sun" published an exclusive report on January 19th.

It stated that the mascots for the London Olympic Games are

produced by a Chinese sweatshop.

The report said that the factory named Rainbow, located

in Yancheng city Jiangsu province, exploits workers.

The workers have a very low monthly salary, only

a little bit more than 900 yuan RMB ($142 USD).

The report noted that no holiday time off is given to workers.

They work for 385 hours per month,

which equal nearly 12 hours per day.

The report also quoted Zhang Qing, a 40-year-old female

worker, who says she is exhausted but has no other choice.

The "Sun" report attracted the concern of the London

Organising Committee.

They say they have ordered an investigation and will

publish the result upon completion.

Li Xiangyang, a Chinese lawyer and activist, said that China

Exports 30% of light industrial products to other countries,

which is one of the pillars supporting the Chinese Communist

Party (CCP)'s economic system.

If they increasing compensation to workers, a large number

of Chinese businesses will bankrupt.

CCP implements an unspoken rule to maintain benefits from

its vested interests, which are depriving workers ruthlessly.

Li Xiangyang: ”China has a big population, and the chance of

an employment opportunity is relatively slim.

The migrant worker will lose its job if he asks for fair

compensation.

The farm workers, especially, have to work for survival

which means they pay in with 100% sweat, but only get 1% or 2% in return.

It's the common situation all around China.”

Wang Chengzhi, a Jiangsu businessman says the CCP has

used repressive policies to control China for many years now.

The workers don't have the right for the opportunity to

speak out about their needs.

Controlled by the dictatorial regime, China has too many

sweatshops.

Wang Chengzhi: “The wage is very low.

There's too many sweatshops, too numerous to mention.

If you visit a city government, or a county government, or

a province government, you will find they are under dictatorship.

If the factory uses money to make the 'No. 1' happy,

there's nobody to listen to you.

They will even arrest you if you sue the factory.

They can find an excuse such as you disrupted public order,

then charge and arrest you. It's no use to sue.”

"Chinese Workers Union" reported, “Wuzhou Yongwei Toy

Factory is a subsidiary of a Hong Kong owned “Zhongkuo Yongwei.”

In the afternoon of January 4th 2012, the workers went on strike

because the factory didn't pay them on time,

and didn't pay them overtime for work during the new year.

The authority sent out a large number of police to prevent

the workers from taking to the street.

Last year, the Hong Kong based "China Labor Watch"

released a survey reporting that the working conditions

in well known electronic companies with factories in China

are very poor.

The workers are forced to work overtime, which is inhumane.

The survey investigated 10 global companies.

The mascots of the London 2012 Olympic Games were

named Wenlock and Mandeville.

The design combines the one-eyed monster Mike Wazowski

from the cartoon movie Monsters, Inc. and Sonic the Hedgehog from the video game.

In August, 2010, the England based Golden Bear Company won

the production contract, but subcontracted to Rainbow, the Chinese factory in Jiangsu province.
