UAW President Bob King and AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka issued a joint statement supporting striking Chinese Honda workers.Here are some excerpts:
America's auto workers and observers around the world have watched with admiration as the courageous young auto workers at Honda's Chinese factories have in the past weeks risen up in protest against the low-wage system imposed by Honda and many employers, foreign and domestic, in China.
At a parts plant at Honda Auto Parts Mfg. Co., the first such strike, the line workers elected representatives to negotiate with the employer for wage increases. In the words of those elected representatives, "…. [our] fundamental demands are…salary raises…for the whole workforce including interns; improvements in the wage structure and job promotion mechanism; and last but not least, restructuring the branch trade union at Honda Auto Parts Manufacturing Co. Ltd. Another fundamental demand... [is]…non-retaliation and no dismissal of workers participating in the strike."
We stand in support of China's Honda workers and their reasonable demands. We call on Honda to accede to their demands-- to improve its wages structure and job promotion system at its China facilities by implementing genuine and continuous collective bargaining with representatives of its front-line workers.
