THE local police have issued the preliminary findings of an investigation into a series of worker-related incidents at Jasic Technology Co. Ltd. They found that a former Jasic worker surnamed Yu had been fired in May for missing work without a good reason and taking part in violent fights. Dissatisfied with the arbitration result of his appeal, Yu and six other people gathered at the entrance of the company and tried to enter by force July 20. Five of them were summoned to a police station for further investigation. After being released, they gathered people to enter the company building by force and obstructed the normal operations of the police station. On July 27, 29 suspects were arrested after 25 of them broke into the company again. The investigation found an unregistered illegal organization named “dagongzhe zhongxin” or “center for migrant workers,” which was fully funded by overseas NGOs, was instigating and supporting the incidents. The organization was involved in multiple worker-related incidents and responsible for coercing some workers into taking radical actions, police said. The suspects have expressed regret about their behavior. Yu said he would never do such things again. Another suspect surnamed Fu said he had learned that the radical actions taken by the Jasic employees were against the law. “Whatever interest you pursue, it must be carried out within the boundaries of law,” said Zeng Yueying, deputy dean of the Law School of Shenzhen University.
