?Around 8,000 staff at a Nanjing factory owned by LG Display have gone on strike over claims that South Korean staff were offered larger bonuses than local Chinese workers.
According to China Labor Watch, the Korean workers at the plant received a year-end bonus equivalent to six months' salary while Chinese workers only received a bonus of one month's salary.
Reportedly, the strike is still ongoing, despite threats made by management to close the plant entirely and prosecute the leaders of the strike. The factory made an offer to double the year-end bonus for Chinese workers to two months' salary, but it was rejected by workers who are pushing for absolute equality in the bonus system.
Initially, only the workers from the number four factory building took part in the demonstration, but they were soon joined by workers from the complex's four other factory buildings. Before long, the protest had completely shut down approximately 80 different assembly lines.
According to the workers, the factory has played host to several smaller strikes in the past.
Workers at LG's factories in Guangdong Province have also reported on Chinese websites that they have been subject to the same unfair treatment as their Nanjing counterparts.
