「东莞玩具大厂倒闭，工人堵路抗议后获“0.5N”赔偿（2025.12.14-23）」12月22日，广东东莞。长荣玩具厂的数百名工人在经历了近十天的持续维权后，最终等来的结果，是这家曾经的世界级玩具制造商所给出的赔偿方案——仅为中国《劳动法》法定标准的一半，即“0.5N”。
长荣玩具厂成立于1998年，隶属于香港华盛玩具集团，是其旗下9家子公司之一。在鼎盛时期，长荣玩具员工规模一度高达1.5万人，是著名的玩具制造大厂；而截至事发前，厂内在岗员工已锐减至千余人。
据工人透露，12月初，长荣玩具率先遣散了全部临时工。12月14日，公司在未作任何明确说明的情况下，试图将部分生产设备转移出厂区，引发工人强烈不满，认为这是企业“跑路”的前兆并拦截了搬运车辆。事实很快印证了他们的判断：12月15日，工厂正式宣布实行无限期的“5天8小时”工作制，试图通过大幅压低收入，迫使员工自行离职。在工人持续抗议的情况下，长荣玩具并未回撤决定，反而于12月22日进一步宣布放假两个月。这一举动彻底引爆了积压的怒火，数百名工人走出厂区，阻断了工厂门前的公路交通。
虽然堵路的工人随即被大量警察驱散，但此举也迫使当地政府介入了谈判。最终，在政府部门的“协调”之下，长荣玩具才同意以“0.5N”的标准赔偿工人。
极具讽刺意味的是，即便是这样一个打折的结果，对工人来说也是一种“成功”。在法律沦为摆设、工会长期缺位、且当局往往联合资方打压工人的现实下，能拿到数万元的真金白银已属不易。相较于稍早前维权失败的易力声和海鸥住工的工人们，这种结果也确实算得上是“成功”
Dongguan Toy Manufacturing Giant Shuts Down; Workers Receive Only “0.5N” Compensation After Road Blockade Protest (2025.12.14–23)
On December 22, in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, hundreds of workers from Changrong Toy Factory finally received an outcome after nearly ten days of sustained collective action. The compensation offered by this once world-renowned toy manufacturer amounted to only half of the statutory standard stipulated by China’s Labor Law—commonly referred to as “0.5N.”
Founded in 1998, Changrong Toy Factory is one of nine subsidiaries under Hong Kong–based Wah Sing Toys Group. At its peak, Changrong employed as many as 15,000 workers and was a well-known large-scale toy manufacturer. By the time of the incident, however, the number of employees still working at the factory had dwindled to just over one thousand.
According to workers, Changrong Toys began by dismissing all temporary workers in early December. On December 14, without providing any clear explanation, the company attempted to move part of its production equipment out of the factory, triggering strong dissatisfaction among workers. Believing this to be a sign that the company was preparing to flee, workers intercepted the transport vehicles. Events soon confirmed their suspicions. On December 15, the factory officially announced the indefinite implementation of a “five days, eight hours” work schedule, seeking to sharply reduce workers’ income and force them to resign voluntarily. Despite continued protests, Changrong Toys did not reverse the decision. Instead, on December 22, it further announced a two-month shutdown. This move completely ignited pent-up anger, prompting hundreds of workers to leave the factory grounds and block traffic on the road in front of the plant.
Although the road-blocking workers were quickly dispersed by large numbers of police, the action also compelled the local government to intervene in negotiations. Ultimately, under official “coordination,” Changrong Toys agreed to compensate workers at the “0.5N” standard.
The irony is striking: even such a discounted outcome was regarded by workers as a form of “success.” In a reality where the law has been reduced to a mere formality, trade unions remain absent, and authorities often side with capital to suppress workers’ demands, securing tens of thousands of yuan in actual cash compensation is no small feat. Compared with workers at Yilisheng and Seagull Housing Works, whose earlier rights-defense efforts ended in failure, this result can indeed—by comparison—be considered a “success.”
