「广西梧州工人“五一”连日罢工，抗议黑厂任意罚款（2026.05.01–02）」5月1日至2日，广西梧州的翅冀钢铁有限公司多名货运司机连续两天发起罢工，抗议公司长期存在的随意罚款问题。 据工人透露，翅冀钢铁是梧州有名的“黑厂”，内部罚款制度苛刻且缺乏透明标准，管理层经常以各种理由对员工进行扣罚，导致部分工人辛苦工作一个月后，实际到手工资仅剩几十元。 工人还反映，由于劳动强度极大、工作环境恶劣，仅今年3月份，公司内就至少有三名工人在岗位上因过度劳累死亡。长期高强度劳动叠加不合理处罚，引发工人强烈不满，最终促使司机们在“五一国际劳工节”期间集体停工抗议，要求公司停止任意罚款，并改善基本劳动待遇。 5月2日，有工人表示，相关诉求已得到回应并基本达成，但具体细节目前尚不清楚。
“Guangxi Wuzhou Workers Stage Back-to-Back Strike on Labor Day, Protesting Rogue Factory’s Arbitrary Fines (2026.05.01–02)”
On May 1 and 2, a group of freight drivers at Chiji Steel Co., Ltd. in Wuzhou, Guangxi, walked off the job for two consecutive days to protest the company’s longstanding practice of imposing arbitrary fines on workers.
According to workers, Chiji Steel is notorious in Wuzhou as a “rogue factory.” Its internal penalty system is harsh and lacks any transparent standards, with management frequently docking pay under various pretexts. As a result, some workers take home only a few dozen yuan after a full month of labor.
Workers also reported that due to the extreme workload and hazardous working conditions, at least three employees died on the job from overwork in March alone. The combination of relentless high-intensity labor and unreasonable penalties fueled deep resentment among workers, ultimately driving the drivers to stage a collective work stoppage during International Labor Day. They demanded an end to arbitrary fines and basic improvements to their working conditions.
By May 2, some workers indicated that their demands had been largely met, though specific details remain unclear.
