Anger simmers in China's 'workshop of the world' AFP

19.06.10

FOSHAN, China — For two years, Li has toiled at an auto parts plant affiliated with Honda Motor, earning meagre pay and breathing workshop fumes that he and his fellow workers fear are affecting their health.

Such tales seem as numerous as the workers themselves in southern Guangdong province -- long known as the "workshop of the world" but now the focus of a push for better pay and conditions by China's masses of low paid labourers.

"We are breathing poisonous fumes all day long, we want better monitoring in the workshop and thorough health checks. The factory must take responsibility," said Li, 26, who declined to give his full name, fearing he'd be fired.

"We make barely 10 yuan (1.50 dollars) an hour, while auto workers in Japan or the United States make up to 50 times more."

Workers like Li, who is from a poor farming community in rural Guangdong, are the raw muscle behind China's rise as an industrial power, but they say they are being exploited by foreign manufacturers and their own government.
