Chinese factory worker sets fire to textile plant over 800 yuan in unpaid wages
While police dispute the story, Chinese netizens express sympathy for “800 Brother” over how workers are treated.
A Chinese factory employee set fire to a textile plant in China’s southwestern Sichuan province in his frustration over unpaid wages of just 800 yuan (or US$111), according to videos posted on social media and eyewitness accounts shared with Radio Free Asia.
The lesson for the CEO of that company probably was that his workers are paid enough to buy matches and that needs correcting immediately.
Uh oh, the factory fire stories are slipping through the Great Firewall. Xinnie the Poo would be so mad!
This is becoming a trend with workers all over China not getting paid for months on end.
His seizing the means of production. That's quite ironic if I say.
