易力声罢工持续一周，工人团结施压迫当局释放被捕工友（2025.12.09–10）

「易力声罢工持续一周，工人团结施压迫当局释放被捕工友（2025.12.09–10）」截至周三（12月10日）中午，尽管承受着来自各方的巨大压力，广东深圳易力声工人始于上周四的“抵制变相裁员”行动仍在持续。周二白天，多名工人曾遭到警察抓捕。直至当晚，在工人们集体围堵工厂大门、长时间施压后，被抓捕的工人才最终获释。

周一，易力声发布了《关于考勤管理的补充说明》，称：“连续旷工超过三日者，或累计旷工四日者，以及一年内因违反公司人力资源管理制度被书面警告累计达到三次者，将视为自动离职，且不予任何赔偿。” 意图胁迫工人复工。

该声明发布后，部分工人迫于生计压力复工，但仍有大量工人顶住高压，于周二继续罢工，并聚集在工厂大门附近抗议。据工人透露，当局当天出动大批警察试图强行驱散人群，殴打工人并当场抓捕了多名维权者。现场视频还显示，当天曾有数名外国记者在现场拍照，但随即遭到警察驱赶。

当晚，局势陡然升级。上千名愤怒的工人集体围堵了工厂大门，高喊口号，要求警察立即释放被抓同伴。在持续对峙后，迫于工人强大的集体压力，当局最终释放了全部被抓捕人员，抗议人群才陆续散去。截至周三中午，工人的罢工行动仍在持续。

众所周知，中国没有独立工会，这直接导致中国工人的抗争行动往往一开始便处于一种“地狱模式”。无法建立组织，无法公开研讨对策，更难以形成稳定、持续的行动网络。即便是微信群这种最基本的沟通工具，也时刻面临封号与解散的风险。在这种情况下，工人的集体行动最终会被迫走向“原子化”，甚至连诉求也无法统一。许多罢工只能依赖临时聚集、口头传播或线下单独联络来维系；一旦组织者被抓捕，行动便迅速陷入瘫痪。因此，在中共与资方的双重压制下，中国工人运动鲜有成功先例，这也是中国劳工长期被迫接受低薪与超长工时的根本原因。

在这一现实背景下，易力声工人不仅在多重高压下连续罢工数日，还在骨干被抓捕后迅速以集体行动施压，成功迫使当局当场放人，这种情况在近年来的中国工运中极为罕见。因此，不论此次易力声工人的罢工行动将来是成功还是失败，他们的坚持本身已极具突破意义。

“Yilisheng Strike Enters Its Second Week: Workers’ Unity Forces Authorities to Release Detained Colleagues (2025.12.09–10)”

As of noon on Wednesday (December 10), despite immense pressure from all sides, the “resistance against disguised layoffs” launched last Thursday by workers at Yilisheng in Shenzhen, Guangdong, is still ongoing. During the daytime on Tuesday, several workers were detained by the police. It was not until that evening—after workers collectively blockaded the factory gates and maintained prolonged pressure—that the detained workers were finally released.

On Monday, Yilisheng issued a “Supplementary Explanation on Attendance Management,” stating: “Those who are absent from work continuously for more than three days, or cumulatively absent for four days; as well as those who receive three written warnings within one year for violations of the company’s human resources management regulations, will be deemed to have voluntarily resigned, and no compensation will be granted.” This move was clearly intended to coerce workers into returning to work.

After the statement was released, some workers, under pressure to make a living, returned to work. However, a large number of workers continued to withstand the pressure and carried on the strike on Tuesday, gathering near the factory gates to protest. According to workers, the authorities deployed a large number of police that day in an attempt to forcibly disperse the crowd, beating workers and detaining multiple rights-defending protesters on the spot. Videos from the scene also show that several foreign journalists were present taking photographs that day, but were quickly driven away by the police.

That night, the situation escalated sharply. More than a thousand enraged workers collectively blockaded the factory gates, chanting slogans and demanding the immediate release of their detained comrades. After a prolonged standoff, under the powerful collective pressure of the workers, the authorities ultimately released all of those who had been detained. Only then did the protesting crowd gradually disperse. As of noon on Wednesday, the strike was still ongoing.

As is well known, there are no independent labor unions in China. This directly means that Chinese workers’ struggles often begin in what can only be described as “hell mode.” They are unable to establish organizations, unable to openly discuss strategies, and even less able to form stable, sustained networks of collective action. Even something as basic as a WeChat group—the most elementary communication tool—constantly faces the risk of being shut down or dissolved. Under such conditions, workers’ collective actions are ultimately forced toward “atomization,” and even their demands cannot be unified. Many strikes can only be maintained through temporary gatherings, word-of-mouth communication, or individual offline contacts. Once organizers are detained, the movement quickly falls into paralysis. Therefore, under the dual repression of the Chinese Communist Party and capital, China’s labor movement has seen very few successful precedents. This is also the fundamental reason why Chinese workers have long been forced to accept low wages and excessively long working hours.

Against this broader reality, the Yilisheng workers not only managed to sustain their strike for several consecutive days under multiple layers of pressure, but also, after their key members were detained, swiftly exerted pressure through collective action and successfully forced the authorities to release them on the spot. Such a development is extremely rare in China’s labor movement in recent years. Therefore, regardless of whether the Yilisheng workers’ strike ultimately succeeds or fails, their persistence itself already carries profound breakthrough significance.
