Some Chinese-company employees don't even get pay stubs, having no idea where their money is going! And what about the mandatory contributions to disaster relief. Get up to speed fellas!

Many legitimate workers’ protests seeking redress for these rights violations have been branded as “illegal demonstrations.” And, as a result, many ordinary workers have been arrested, detained and sentenced to long prison terms. It seems easier to go after the foreign companies for money and benefits than to fix their own internal corruption problems. Money that was supposed to go for earthquake victims ended up in the pockets of greedy government officials. Why do we think the money paid into this program will go to benefit the people it is supposed to help? It won't !! In many foreign companies, if not most, management is more responsive to its employee workforce than the government is to it own people, and without a doubt, much more than local "Chinese" companies are to their own employees.
