난하이혼다 파업과 중국 노동운동에 대한 함의

This paper recomposes the full story of the strike in Nanhaihonda that broke out from 27 May 2010 to 4 June 2010 on the basis of news articles,some scholars’ articles about the strike of Nanhaihonda, interview materials. This paper analyses the characteristics of the strike in Nanhaihonda, and derives some implications for China’s labor movement from the analysis. The strike in Nanhaihonda not only verifies the legitimacy of strike in China, but also indicates that the Chinese peasant workers’ labor movement is transferring from ‘the rights-protecting labor movement’ to ‘the interests-seeking labor movement’. This paper summarizes the characteristics of the strike in Nanhaihonda: the neutrality of government agents in the process of strike; the appearance of stakeholders’ participating in the labor disputes which is very different from the voluntarism of the labor disputes; the restrained foreign capital’s behavior due to the ideology of socialism and nationalism; the occupation of organizing outcomes of the spontaneous Chinese peasant workers’ unrest by the upper level trade union. This paper points that stakeholders’ participating in the labor disputes reveals the incompleteness of Chinese labor dispute mediation mechanism on the one hand, but also presents the possibility of ‘collective bargaining with Chinese characteristics’. This paper argues that although labor movements are arising in China which already has become ‘the factory of the world‘,but it is not likely to arise independent and militant labor movement in China without some particular variables.
