「佛山坚美铝材以强制军训方式变相裁员（2026.03.11-17）」3月11日至17日，广东省佛山市南海区坚美铝材有限公司强制要求员工在正常工作时间之外参加军事训练，并规定凡拒绝参加者将被扣除绩效奖金。
据工人反映，此举被普遍认为是公司在经营效益下滑之际，试图以变相施压的方式迫使员工主动离职，从而规避依法支付经济补偿金的义务。工人表示，在每天长达12小时的工作之后，还须额外参加2小时军训，身心俱疲，苦不堪言。
“Jianmei Aluminum in Foshan Uses Forced Military Training as Disguised Layoffs (March 11–17, 2026)”
From March 11 to 17, Jianmei Aluminum Co., Ltd., located in Nanhai District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province, compelled employees to participate in military training outside of normal working hours, stipulating that anyone who refused would have their performance bonuses docked.
According to workers, this move is widely seen as the company’s attempt — amid declining business performance — to pressure employees into resigning voluntarily through indirect means, thereby evading its legal obligation to pay severance compensation. Workers reported that after already enduring 12-hour workdays, being required to attend an additional 2 hours of military training left them physically and mentally exhausted, and the situation has been extremely difficult to bear.
