2 workers jump to death in Dongguan factory
TWO migrant workers committed suicide in a factory in Dongguan, south China's Guangdong Province over low pay and high pressure after more than 400 workers had quit jobs there.
Li Tangxia, a female worker, jumped from the fourth floor of her dormitory building last Wednesday; three days later a male worker surnamed Fan jumped from a three-floor factory building, the Dongguan Times reported today.
Li went to work in this stationary factory on February 8 for a monthly pay of 3,000 yuan (US$477), but a week later, she was overwhelmed by the workload and was scolded by her foreman, Li's coworkers said.
Fan was a die-making mechanic with a monthly salary of 4,000 yuan. He had worked there for eight years and was hoping to open his own workshop with the severance payment the company had promised. However, the company denied the payment last week and dashed the man's hope, the paper said.
More than 400 migrant workers had left the company after several tragedies happened there. "It's hard to find workers because our pays are too low compared with the workload," a company recruitment official told the newspaper.
But the company's top management remained silent on the suicides, the paper said.
