Strike Forces Honda to Shut Plants in China

HONG KONG — A strike at a crucial parts factory has forced Honda to shut down all four of its joint venture assembly plants in China. It was the clearest sign yet of growing labor unrest in a country that now stands at the cornerstone of companies’ global supply chains.

Industrial wages have been climbing steeply in the export zones of China’s coastal provinces, but workers’ expectations have been rising even more steeply. Many of the millions of migrant workers who used to fill multinationals’ factories near the coast are now finding jobs closer to home in China’s interior, and the resulting labor shortage has given workers new leverage to demand higher wages and better conditions.

The strike coincides with a series of suicides among young workers at Foxconn factories in Shenzhen, next to Hong Kong, that supply big companies like Apple and Hewlett-Packard. While psychologists have suggested that many of the suicides may be so-called copycat cases, the deaths have drawn international attention to labor conditions in Chinese factories.

According to state-controlled Chinese media, workers at the transmission factory earn $150 to $220 a month and are demanding to be paid the same wages as Honda’s assembly plant workers, who earn $300 to $370 a month.
