Jiangsu Wuxi Suntech Solar Power Co., Ltd. allegedly decided to give employees at its Wuxi factory a long, unpaid \u201cvacation\u201d starting on May 1st due to a shortage in orders. Suntech\u2019s decision caused a stir among its employees right after the announcement. Many believed that the company\u2019s move was a lay-off in disguise, leading to a strike demanding proper compensation.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the strike began, employees rallied in the factory holding slogans such as, &#8220;Say no to the [so-called] vacation. We need to survive.&#8221; The local police force was dispatched into the factory to de-escalate and prevent workers from moving the demonstration to public places. At one point, they clashed with striking workers. At 1 a.m. on April 27th, the protest gradually dissipated.

According to the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.suntech-power.com\/about-us\/#section-6e437af\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> company\u2019s website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suntech has been in the field of crystalline silicon solar cells and modules production for over 20 years. The company\u2019s product was sold in more than 100 countries and regions in the world. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At its peak, Suntech had approximately 11,000 employees worldwide.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suntech&#8217;s fortunes began to turn after peaking in 2008 due to market saturation for solar products and poor investments. In March 2013, the company defaulted on US$541 million in bonds, making it the first company in mainland China to default on its U.S. bond. Subsequently, Wuxi Suntech Electric Power Holdings Co., Ltd., Suntech&#8217;s main subsidiary, declared bankruptcy. The company was then delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and instead became an over-the-counter (OTC) security.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On March 18th, Suntech&#8217;s creditors jointly<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/mek.gcscgsqsgs.com\/html\/658a692748.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">filed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a bankruptcy and reorganization petition on the company to a local court. According to reports, as of the end of February, Suntech owed a total of around 7.1 billion RMB (around USD$980 million) to its creditors.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are only part of Suntech\u2019s woes.

It has experienced three shifts of top executives in one year. In recent months the impact reached lower level employees, and waves of resignations followed. This included middle and senior management, technical and marketing personnel, and the heads of finance, product research and development team, as well as overseas sales and other departments. The company has also been riddled with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.courthousenews.com\/chinese-solar-firm-must-pay-5-million\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lawsuits<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Jiangsu Leadmicro Nano Tech, a high-tech manufacturer, submitted a petition to court for Suntech to settle outstanding payments and liquidated damages.

As U.S. &#8211; China relations continue to freeze, global investors have taken cautions and withdrawn from the Chinese market, leading to trouble in the Chinese economy. This is especially true as the solar panel industry has been <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dol.gov\/sites\/dolgov\/files\/ILAB\/images\/storyboards\/solar\/Solar.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">flagged<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with major Uyghur forced labor risks by the U.S. government.

Some said that the strike will not result in any substantive impacts. Some claimed that it is the company\u2019s freedom to implement personnel measures when it\u2019s losing money. Some lamented that during the Republic of China era, workers could organize independent unions to resolve labor disputes. While that option is unavailable today, they can only find their own ways to protect their rights and interests. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to online sources, on April 26th, an estimated 2,000 workers at Suntech Wuxi factory went on strike.
