「新一轮制造业工人罢工潮：4天14起（2025.11.01-04）」继今年8月至9月初发生的“33天22起”制造业工人罢工潮后，中国制造业在11月初再次进入新一轮劳资冲突高发期。 相比前一波，本次的爆发态势更为集中和猛烈：仅在11月1日至4日的短短四天内，“昨天”项目就记录到14起制造业工人罢工或集体讨薪事件。
在这14起工人维权事件中，仅一起由“克扣工资”引发，其余13起事件全部由“长期拖欠工资”所致。拖欠时间少则两个月，多则长达半年甚至一年，清晰地反映出企业资金链紧张导致欠薪普遍化的趋势。
这14起工人维权事件分别是：
11月1日，广东清远冠星陶瓷企业有限公司工人讨薪；
11月1日，江西南昌聚仁制衣有限公司工人讨薪；
11月1日，浙江杭州高地工业园雨成服饰有限公司工人讨薪；
11月1日，福建泉州晋江青美工业园某工厂工人讨薪；
11月2日，广东佛山雅柏家具实业有限公司工人讨薪；
11月2日至3日，广东广州白云区雅狮皮具有限公司工人讨薪；
11月3日，湖南衡阳竣能科技有限公司工人讨薪；
11月3日，江西赣州信丰县拓远新能源有限公司工人讨薪；
11月3日，浙江温州保华眼镜有限公司工人讨薪；
11月3日至4日，安徽六安舒城县慧君科技有限公司工人罢工抗议公司克扣工资；
11月3日至4日，广东深圳资嘉科技有限公司工人讨薪；
11月3日至4日，江西吉安银图实业有限公司工人讨薪。
11月4日，湖北龙牧专用汽车有限公司工人讨薪；
11月4日，浙江台州温岭市联永智能科技有限公司工人讨薪；
在当前中国经济持续下行、全球需求疲软以及国际贸易战的宏观背景下，中国制造业的欠薪与罢工事件正呈现出越来越密集的态势。对于工人而言，工资往往是他们唯一的经济来源，长期被拖欠将直接影响其房租、水电和食物等基本生活保障；然而，由于工会组织和有效法律援助的缺失，以及工厂在资金断裂后常出现的“老板跑路”和资产转移，使得工人集体维权行动最终往往不了了之。而那些因此被迫采取更激进行动的工人，还要承担随之而来的关押甚至判刑的风险。
“New Wave of Manufacturing Worker Strikes: 14 Cases in 4 Days (Nov 1–4, 2025)”
Following the wave of 22 manufacturing worker strikes over 33 days from August to early September this year, China’s manufacturing sector has entered another high period of labor-management conflict in early November. Compared with the previous wave, the current outbreak is more concentrated and intense: in just four days from November 1 to 4, the “Yesterday” project recorded 14 instances of worker strikes or collective wage demands.
Among these 14 labor rights incidents, only one was triggered by wage deductions, while the remaining 13 were all caused by long-term wage arrears. The delay periods ranged from as short as two months to as long as six months or even a year, clearly reflecting a trend of widespread wage arrears due to tight corporate cash flows.
The 14 labor incidents are as follows:
- Nov 1: Workers of Guangdong Qingyuan Guanxing Ceramics Co., Ltd. demanded unpaid wages.
- Nov 1: Workers of Jiangxi Nanchang Juren Garments Co., Ltd. demanded unpaid wages.
- Nov 1: Workers of Zhejiang Hangzhou Gaodi Industrial Park Yucheng Garments Co., Ltd. demanded unpaid wages.
- Nov 1: Workers of a factory in Quanzhou Jinjiang Qingmei Industrial Park, Fujian demanded unpaid wages.
- Nov 2: Workers of Guangdong Foshan Yabo Furniture Industrial Co., Ltd. demanded unpaid wages.
- Nov 2–3: Workers of Guangdong Guangzhou Baiyun District Yashi Leather Co., Ltd. demanded unpaid wages.
- Nov 3: Workers of Hunan Hengyang Juneng Technology Co., Ltd. demanded unpaid wages.
- Nov 3: Workers of Jiangxi Ganzhou Xinfeng County Tuoyuan New Energy Co., Ltd. demanded unpaid wages.
- Nov 3: Workers of Zhejiang Wenzhou Baohua Eyewear Co., Ltd. demanded unpaid wages.
- Nov 3–4: Workers of Anhui Lu’an Shucheng County Huijun Technology Co., Ltd. went on strike to protest wage deductions.
- Nov 3–4: Workers of Guangdong Shenzhen Zijia Technology Co., Ltd. demanded unpaid wages.
- Nov 3–4: Workers of Jiangxi Ji’an Yintu Industrial Co., Ltd. demanded unpaid wages.
- Nov 4: Workers of Hubei Longmu Special-purpose Vehicle Co., Ltd. demanded unpaid wages.
- Nov 4: Workers of Zhejiang Taizhou Wenling Lianying Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. demanded unpaid wages.
Amid the ongoing economic slowdown in China, weak global demand, and international trade tensions, wage arrears and strike incidents in China’s manufacturing sector are becoming increasingly frequent. For workers, wages are often their sole source of income, and prolonged delays directly threaten their ability to pay for rent, utilities, and food. However, due to the lack of trade unions and effective legal assistance, as well as the common occurrence of employers fleeing or transferring assets when a factory’s finances break down, collective labor actions often fizzle out. Workers who are forced to take more radical measures also face the risk of detention or even criminal prosecution.
