如預料中，對寶成而言這是場艱難的戰役。希望此罷工事件能以最少的損失落幕
然而，抗爭的大陸勞工或許會認為打贏了這場戰役，其實不然。相信所有的外資企業會因為勞工成本考慮移轉原在東莞的投資。
Alas! As predited, that would be a tough battle for Pou Yuan according to my experiences in getting along with them. Wish this spreaded strike could be ended up at minimum loss.
However, the labors would be the lossers. Because the related foreign enterprises may consider transferring/moving out the investments from Dongguan, and even southern GuangDong to elsewhere. (or other countries possibly) due to the highly-increasing labor cost.
China shoe strike spreads, enters second week [link]http://blink.htcsense.com/web/articleweb.aspx?regionid=11&articleid=21929822

SHANGHAI (Reuters) - One of China's biggest strikes in years stretched into a second week on Monday, and spread from a huge shoe production complex in southern Guangdong province to a facility owned by the same company in neighbouring Jiangxi province.
Workers at the multi-factory Yue Yuen Industrial Holdings Ltd complex in the Guangdong city of Dongguan clocked in on Monday morning, but not for work, continuing a stoppage over what they say have been years of inadequate social insurance and housing provident fund contributions by the company.
In Jiangxi, more than 2,000 workers from a Yue Yuen factory that mainly produces shoes for Adidas AG went on strike on Friday and planned to continue on Monday, the U.S.-based group China Labour Watch said.
"We're continuing the strike," said one worker in Dongguan, surnamed Zhou, contacted by telephone. "We swiped our cards and then went back (home). The other production lines in the same network are striking, too."
The strike began a week ago after the company missed a deadline to address workers' concerns. Yue Yuen announced changes to employee benefits on Thursday to try to placate the workers and end the strike, but workers rejected these.
Provincial, municipal and township leaders urged Yue Yuen to resolve the workers' demands in accordance with laws and regulations, the government of the town of Gaobu, where the Yue Yuen factory complex is located, said in a statement on Monday.
"Company and worker representatives are urged to strengthen communication and consultation, publicise explanations of regulations and policies, and guide the rational expression of the aspirations of the workers," it said.
The Yue Yuen facilities in Gaobu comprise the company's biggest manufacturing centre, with 1.4 million square metres (15.1 million square feet) of floor space, according to its website. In addition to Adidas, it also makes shoes for Nike Inc, Saucony and other global brands, workers said.
A company executive said last week there were about 40,000 employees at the Gaobu complex.
Several workers in Gaobu said the entire workforce was on strike. Labour activists say the strike is the biggest in China in recent memory.

大陸東莞廠員工罷工事件持續擴大，寶成集團經溝通後再讓步，昨（21）日宣布自5月1日起，將社保及住房公積金足額提撥，一次到位，並同意根據員工個人意願補繳養老保險及住房公積金。
寶成也宣布自5月起，每名員工加發一定金額的生活津貼，以東莞廠區為例，每人每月加發人民幣230元（約新台幣1,150元）生活津貼，以東莞廠4萬名員工為例，每月就將增加逾新台幣4,000多萬元支出，一年近5億元。寶成中國大陸16萬名員工未來可能也會比照辦理。
寶成集團原訂2015年完成全員足額投保，但因近日員工高達數萬人上街抗議，決定提前在今年5月「一次到位」，此舉無疑將為整個大陸地區的台商企業投下一顆震撼彈。
據了解，大陸社保、住房公積金的法令及政策，有其逐步演進的歷史因素，就算到了現在，仍有大部分工人不願繳交社保或住房公積金，導致大部分台商企業均存在未足額繳交社保，或提撥住房公積金的現象。
由於中國政府近幾年社保與住房公積金相關規定逐步完善，屆退休年齡工人開始關心自己的退休權益，工人主張提撥聲音也逐漸高漲。
業界表示，隨著寶成此次公告實施的新政策，可以預見東莞周邊城市、甚至整個大陸地區的工人都會要求比照辦理，後續衝擊將無法抵擋，是否會加速台商回流或轉往東南亞地區設廠，也值得觀察。
寶成位於東莞高鞋廠，14日起有數萬名員工聚集廠區，以罷工方式抗議廠方多年來，未依法繳交足額的社會保險金，寶成高層儘管多次與員工溝通，並發布新的社保調整方案，但都未能平息員工不滿，罷工規模持續擴大，甚至出現零星衝突。
昨天最新方案出爐後，寶成將立即舉辦多場說明會，直接與員工溝通，表達最大善意，希望工廠能儘速復工，恢復原有生產秩序。這也是東莞高廠區14日發生大規模罷工事件以來，寶成第三度發布新的員工福利調整方案。
