33天22起，经济下行与“强制社保”双重压力下的制造业工人罢工潮

「33天22起，经济下行与“强制社保”双重压力下的制造业工人罢工潮」在过去的一个多月里，中国制造业掀起了一波接连不断的工人罢工潮。工厂车间、流水线和工业园区，频繁上演着工人集体停工、维权的场景。罢工潮的背后，是经济下行导致订单锐减、企业经营成本骤增，以及“强制社保”政策落地给中小企业带来的巨大压力，这些压力，在近期已经导致大量企业倒闭，仅在我们统计的这22起涉及到工人维权的案例中，就有九家工厂已经宣布倒闭，其余也面临巨大的经营压力。然而，承担后果的不止是企业，还有最普通的劳动者——他们被迫面临企业将风险与成本层层转嫁后带来的降薪、欠薪、裁员不赔偿，搬迁不赔偿等种种不公。

据昨天频道统计，仅在2025年8月1日至9月2日的33天里，中国各地便发生了22起制造业工人集体维权行动，涉及医药、纺织、航天、包装、汽车零配件和半导体等多个行业。这些事件不仅凸显了劳资矛盾的加剧，也折射出中国制造业工人目前所处的脆弱境地。这22起制造业工人罢工事件分别是：

8月1日，因工资过低，每月仅1500元，湖南永州道县锋源鞋厂工人发起罢工，要求涨薪。

8月1日，广东河源中光电通讯技术有限公司工人集体罢工，抗议公司搬迁不赔偿以及拖欠工资。据工人透露，中光电已经于今年4月搬迁至江西，老板为了逃避赔偿，给不愿搬迁的人留了一条产线，欠薪是为了逼迫他们自动离职。

8月6日至7日，国药乐仁堂医药有限公司的数十名被辞退员工集体维权，要求赔偿。工人表示，尽管公司在6月1日曾书面承诺解决补偿问题，但一个月后却出尔反尔，不仅拒绝赔偿，甚至要求已工作多年的老员工自证工龄，态度极其恶劣。

8月7日和9日，广东清远溢绩制衣有限公司的百余名工人罢工，抗议公司单方面将工资降低40%。工人表示，这次大幅降薪严重影响了工人们的生活，导致他们无法继续维持生计。

8月8日至11日，广州凯艺纸品包装有限公司的约200名工人连续多日维权，追讨被拖欠数月的工资。这家年产值过亿的中型包装企业，在8月8日突然宣布倒闭，公司老板不知所踪。据了解，凯艺公司长期以极低的利润运营，而即将于9月执行的社保新规，每月将为其带来近50万元的社保成本，远超其每月15万至24万元的利润，最终导致工厂资金链断裂。

8月8日，上海国利汽车真皮饰件有限公司的数百名工人再次聚集维权，抗议公司裁员补偿标准过低。根据工人提供的资料，公司的赔偿方案是“工龄一年2740元”，这意味着一名工作十年的员工只能获得2.74万元的赔偿，工人们称其为“全上海最低的赔偿”。早在去年11月，该公司就曾因拖欠工资和变相裁员引发工人抗议，并导致多人被捕。

8月11日至13日，广东深圳光明区雷松科技有限公司的员工连续三天罢工，要求公司对搬迁厂区至惠州给出明确的补偿方案。工人们表示，公司一直在悄悄转移设备，但始终没有就赔偿问题给出任何承诺。

8月11日至14日，广东深圳先进半导体设备有限公司宣布解散后，近千名员工通过连续四天的集体维权行动，为自己争取到了“N+3+3000元”的赔偿。

8月11日，重庆北大医药的待岗员工集体维权，抗议公司要求已经待岗长达七年的老员工进行转岗培训。工人们认为，公司这一举动是变相逼迫已有数十年工龄的工人自动离职，而公司方面也始终没有给出明确的工作岗位、性质、地点和工资待遇等信息。

8月12日，由于数月未领到工资，河北廊坊固安县航天振邦精密机械有限公司上千工人罢工。廊坊航天振邦成立于 2010 年，由北京航天振邦精密机械有限公司作为主投资方控股新建，有员工1500人，产品广泛应用于神舟载人飞船、“北斗”卫星系统等重大航天项目。

8月14至15日，广东深圳华润饮料有限公司工人连日罢工，抗议公司搬迁厂区不赔偿。华润饮料是是央企华润集团旗下的饮料生产企业，以1990年推出的“怡宝”牌纯净水最为知名。

8月20至21日，广西桂林苏桥比亚迪工人罢工，要求比亚迪执行桂林市的最低工资标准2200元，因为比亚迪所在的苏桥经开区属于桂林城区，但比亚迪坚持要按永福县的标准1870元执行。最终，由于当地政府介入，罢工失败。

8月21日，广东东莞茂瑞电子厂的2000名工人集体罢工，抗议公司搬迁厂区不赔偿。据工人透露，茂瑞电子近期将工厂从东莞牛山搬至东莞清溪，但拒绝向工人支付补偿，并采取“蚂蚁搬家”的方式转移工厂设备。

8月23至25日，广东广州增城新塘镇亦高制衣厂倒闭，工人连续三天维权，讨要工资。

8月27日，江苏灌云县明昊电子厂伊芦分厂在已经放假两个月的情况下，再次通知停工两个月，且期间不发放任何补助。据工人透露，明昊电子厂共有三个分厂，其中两个分厂的工人由老板缴纳了社保，而伊芦分厂因地处农村、工人年龄偏大且月薪仅千余元，一直未给工人缴纳社保。近日，在劳动局要求为工人购买社保后，老板以继续放假为由，企图规避社保责任和赔偿义务，逼迫工人自行离职。工人曾要求老板每月发放数百元补助，但遭拒绝。随后，工人前往县政府维权，却未获任何回应。

8月28至29日，广东珠海奇思智能制造有限公司工人连续两天维权，抗议公司宣布放假三个月，以逃避将工厂搬迁到东莞后的赔偿义务。

8月27至9月1日，山东鼎梁消防科技有限公司倒闭后，700名工人连续六天驻守厂区并封堵大门，讨要被拖欠了4个月的工资。

8月30日至9月1日，湖南涟源佳利制衣有限公司倒闭，工人连续三天维权，要求赔偿。

9月1日，江西新德工业织造有限公司数百工人集体罢工，讨要被拖欠了4个月的工资。

9月2日，湖南衡山县新金龙纸厂拖欠工人工资超过半年，工人维权讨要工资。据工人透露，新金龙纸厂已经倒闭，

9月2日，广东东莞安道迩科技有限公司倒闭，工人集体维权，讨要工资。

9月2日，广东佛山，港资盈特金属制品有限公司面临倒闭，数百工人发起罢工，要求赔偿。

这22起罢工与维权行动，既是分散的个体事件，也是同一困境下的集体回响。对工人而言，罢工并非激进的对抗手段，而是被逼无奈的最后选择。在一次次集体行动中，工人们展现出更强的凝聚力与维权意识。可以预见，在未来一段时间内，这股工人自发维权的浪潮仍将持续。

“22 Strikes in 33 Days: Manufacturing Workers’ Strikes Under the Double Pressure of Economic Downturn and ‘Mandatory Social Insurance’”

Over the past month, China’s manufacturing industry has witnessed a wave of consecutive workers’ strikes. On factory floors, assembly lines, and in industrial parks, scenes of collective walkouts and labor protests have repeatedly unfolded.

Behind this strike wave lie two major pressures: plummeting orders caused by the economic downturn, and surging operating costs driven by the rollout of the “mandatory social insurance” policy, which has placed enormous burdens on small- and medium-sized enterprises. These pressures have already pushed many companies into bankruptcy. Of the 22 labor disputes we tracked, nine factories have already declared bankruptcy, while the rest are under immense financial strain. Yet the consequences are not borne by businesses alone. For ordinary workers, the costs are shifted down onto them, resulting in wage cuts, unpaid wages, uncompensated layoffs, and uncompensated relocations.

According to Yesterday Channel’s statistics, from August 1 to September 2, 2025 — just 33 days — there were 22 collective labor actions across China’s manufacturing sector. These cases spanned pharmaceuticals, textiles, aerospace, packaging, auto parts, and semiconductors. They not only highlight the intensifying conflicts between labor and management but also reveal the precarious situation manufacturing workers now face.

The 22 incidents are as follows:

- Aug 1 – Workers at Fengyuan Shoe Factory, Daoxian County, Yongzhou, Hunan, went on strike demanding higher wages, as their monthly pay was only RMB 1,500.

- Aug 1 – Workers at Zhongguangdian Communications Technology Co., Ltd., Heyuan, Guangdong, struck to protest relocation without compensation and unpaid wages. The factory had already moved to Jiangxi in April, and management withheld wages to force unwilling workers to quit.

- Aug 6–7 – Dozens of laid-off employees at Guoyao Lerentang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. protested for severance. Although the company promised in writing on June 1 to resolve compensation, a month later it reneged and even forced long-serving employees to “prove their work years.”

- Aug 7 & 9 – Over 100 workers at Yiji Garment Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Qingyuan, Guangdong, went on strike after the company unilaterally slashed wages by 40%. Workers said the cut made survival impossible.

- Aug 8–11 – Around 200 workers at Guangzhou Kaiyi Paper Packaging Co., Ltd. protested for several days to demand unpaid wages. On Aug 8, the company suddenly declared bankruptcy and the owner disappeared. With profits of only RMB 150,000–240,000 per month, the firm could not withstand the extra RMB 500,000 monthly cost of the upcoming September social insurance requirements, leading to a cash flow collapse.

- Aug 8 – Hundreds of workers at Shanghai Guoli Automotive Leather Interiors Co., Ltd. protested again, demanding fairer severance pay. The proposed compensation was “RMB 2,740 per year of service,” which workers called “the lowest in Shanghai.” The company had already faced protests last November for unpaid wages and disguised layoffs, during which several workers were arrested.

- Aug 11–13 – Employees at Leisong Technology Co., Ltd., Guangming District, Shenzhen, Guangdong, went on a three-day strike demanding compensation for relocation to Huizhou. Workers said equipment was being moved secretly, but no commitment on compensation was given.

- Aug 11–14 – After Shenzhen Advanced Semiconductor Equipment Co., Ltd. dissolved, nearly 1,000 employees held four days of protests, eventually winning “N + 3 + RMB 3,000” compensation.

- Aug 11 – Idle employees of Chongqing Beida Pharmaceutical protested the company’s demand that workers idled for seven years undergo retraining. Workers believed this was a ploy to force them to quit, and the company never clarified job positions, nature, location, or pay.

- Aug 12 – Over 1,000 workers at Aerospace Zhenbang Precision Machinery Co., Ltd., Gu’an County, Langfang, Hebei, went on strike over months of unpaid wages. Founded in 2010, the company employs 1,500 workers and supplies major projects such as Shenzhou manned spacecraft and the BeiDou satellite system.

- Aug 14–15 – Workers at Shenzhen Huaren Beverage Co., Ltd., Guangdong (a subsidiary of state-owned China Resources, best known for its “C’estbon” bottled water brand), went on strike to protest relocation without compensation.

- Aug 20–21 – BYD workers at Suqiao, Guilin, Guangxi, went on strike demanding enforcement of Guilin City’s minimum wage of RMB 2,200. BYD insisted on applying the RMB 1,870 standard for Yongfu County. With government intervention, the strike failed.

- Aug 21 – 2,000 workers at Maorui Electronics Factory, Dongguan, Guangdong, went on strike over uncompensated relocation. Workers said the company was moving operations from Niushan to Qingxi, but refused compensation while secretly relocating equipment.

- Aug 23–25 – After Yigao Garment Factory, Xintang Town, Zengcheng District, Guangzhou, collapsed, workers protested for three days demanding owed wages.

- Aug 27 – At Minghao Electronics’ Yilu branch, Guanyun County, Jiangsu, workers were told of another two-month suspension after already being off work for two months, with no allowance. Unlike its other two branches, Yilu workers had no social insurance. After the labor bureau required coverage, the employer extended suspension to avoid costs and compensation. Workers’ appeals to the county government went unanswered.

- Aug 28–29 – Workers at Qisi Intelligent Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Zhuhai, Guangdong, protested the company’s three-month “vacation,” meant to avoid relocation compensation after moving operations to Dongguan.

- Aug 27–Sep 1 – After Dingliang Fire Technology Co., Ltd., Shandong, collapsed, 700 workers guarded the factory gates for six days demanding four months of unpaid wages.

- Aug 30–Sep 1 – After Jiali Garment Co., Ltd., Lianyuan, Hunan, collapsed, workers protested for three days demanding compensation.

- Sep 1 – Hundreds of workers at Xinde Industrial Weaving Co., Ltd., Jiangxi, struck over four months of unpaid wages.

- Sep 2 – Workers at Xinjinglong Paper Mill, Hengshan County, Hunan, protested six months of unpaid wages. The plant has already gone bankrupt.

- Sep 2 – After Andaoer Technology Co., Ltd., Dongguan, Guangdong, collapsed, workers protested for owed wages.

- Sep 2 – Hundreds of workers at Hong Kong-funded Yinte Metal Products Co., Ltd., Foshan, Guangdong, went on strike over pending factory closure and demanded compensation.

These 22 strikes and protests are both isolated incidents and collective echoes of a shared predicament. For workers, strikes are not radical acts of confrontation, but the last resort when all options are exhausted. Through these repeated collective actions, workers have demonstrated stronger solidarity and awareness of their rights. It is foreseeable that this wave of grassroots labor actions will continue in the coming period.
