「失业未获赔偿，粤闽浙四工厂工人集体维权（2026.03.01-09）」3月上旬，春节假期结束后，又有多家中国制造业工厂宣布倒闭。其中，位于广东、浙江以及福建的四家公司由于未按《劳动法》赔偿工人，引发工人连日维权。这四家工厂分别是：
广东四会市金叶纺织染整有限公司，数百名春节假期后返厂的工人发现，公司已经在春节期间将设备搬走，引发员工3月1日至3日连日维权，要求赔偿。
福建莆田启明鞋业有限公司，员工休完春节假期回厂，发现公司并没有开工的打算，还禁止员工在宿舍住宿。3月5至9日，愤怒的员工连续多天集体维权，堵塞工厂大门阻止车辆搬运设备。据员工透露，公司已经将工厂搬到了国外。
浙江杭州江南布衣有限公司位于杭州萧山园区的一间工厂宣布倒闭，但拒绝赔偿工人，3月5日，工人集体维权要求赔偿。
广东深圳伯恩光学有限公司，因为没有订单而关厂裁员，但拒绝按《劳动法》赔偿工人，引发工人3月5日至8日连续四天集体维权，要求依法赔偿。据工人透露，按公司给出的赔偿条件，普通员工只有“0.4N”的赔偿金。公开资料显示，伯恩光学有限公司是具有港资背景的伯恩光学（中国）有限公司的子公司，主要从事精密光学玻璃镜片、蓝宝石玻璃等产品的研发与生产。
近两年，受经济下行、外贸订单缩减及产业链外迁等多重压力影响，中国多地中小型工厂出现停产或倒闭潮。在员工补偿问题上，不同背景的企业表现迥异。外资企业在撤离或关厂时普遍遵循“N+1”甚至高于法定标准的补偿方案，相比之下，中资及部分港资企业则显得无耻：它们往往仅提供低于法定标准的赔偿，甚至直接“跑路”也不在少数。这种普遍存在的补偿缺位现象，使得大量失业工人在失去生计的同时，也陷入了艰难的维权困境。
Workers Protest After Losing Jobs Without Compensation at Four Factories in Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang (Mar 1–9, 2026)
In early March, shortly after the Lunar New Year holiday ended, several manufacturing factories in China announced closures. Among them, four companies located in Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Fujian triggered days of worker protests after failing to provide compensation in accordance with China’s Labor Law. The four factories involved are as follows:
At Sihui Jinye Textile Dyeing & Finishing Co., Ltd. in Sihui, Guangdong, hundreds of workers who returned after the Lunar New Year holiday discovered that the company had moved its equipment away during the holiday period. This sparked continuous protests from March 1 to March 3, as workers demanded compensation.
At Putian Qiming Footwear Co., Ltd. in Putian, Fujian, employees returning from the Lunar New Year holiday found that the company had no intention of resuming production and even prohibited workers from staying in the dormitories. From March 5 to March 9, angry workers staged several consecutive days of collective protests, blocking the factory gate to prevent vehicles from removing equipment. According to workers, the company has already relocated the factory overseas.
A factory of Jiangnan Buyi Co., Ltd. located in the Xiaoshan industrial zone of Hangzhou, Zhejiang, announced its closure but refused to compensate workers. On March 5, workers organized collective protests demanding compensation.
Biel Crystal (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. in Shenzhen, Guangdong shut down and laid off workers due to a lack of orders, but refused to provide compensation in accordance with China’s Labor Law. This triggered four consecutive days of worker protests from March 5 to March 8, as employees demanded lawful compensation. Workers reported that under the company’s proposed compensation plan, ordinary employees would receive only “0.4N” in severance pay. Public records show that Biel Crystal (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary of Biel Crystal (China) Co., Ltd., a Hong Kong-funded enterprise, primarily engaged in the research, development, and production of precision optical glass lenses, sapphire glass, and related products.
Over the past two years, under the combined pressures of economic slowdown, shrinking export orders, and the relocation of industrial supply chains, many small and medium-sized factories across China have suspended operations or gone bankrupt. When it comes to worker compensation, companies of different backgrounds have shown starkly different responses. Foreign-funded enterprises generally follow the “N+1” compensation standard—or even higher—when closing or relocating operations. By contrast, many domestic Chinese companies and some Hong Kong-funded firms often offer compensation below the legal standard, and in some cases simply disappear without paying workers at all. This widespread failure to provide proper compensation has left large numbers of unemployed workers not only without livelihoods, but also trapped in difficult struggles to defend their rights.
