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.
Idk. On one hand I really appreciate the energy but on the other hand this is kind of fucked up for everyone else that works there, and I assume there were people inside when he did this. Like what are all his coworkers going to do for work now that the factory is burned down? I know that’s part of why capitalism sucks but it’s not like they can do anything about it as individuals.
form a union?
Usually that works best before you burn the factory down
They’re already in a union, this is China. All companies over a certain size are unionized by law.
Assumption they were getting paid considering he wasn’t
There’s plenty of other factories that might even pay their workers.
Burn down the executive’s houses?
Cave Johnson made a lemon for that.
FTFY.
