胜华科技(股)公司（负责人黄显雄，总公司/台中县潭子乡台中加工出口区建国路10号），成立于1990年，主要生产LCD、LCM、Touch Panel等平面显示器，市占率已是台湾小尺寸手机面板厂、触控式屏幕排名第一、全球排名前三强。主要生产线，分别在台湾的桃园杨梅、台中、高雄有12间厂房，雇用3,550人；在中国的东莞与苏州2厂，雇用18,150人；在印度的清奈1厂，雇用1,450人。还有在美国、南朝鲜、德国等地的全球营销据点。
胜华科技公司，规模庞大的高科技跨国企业，主要订单来自Apple（iPhone）、Nokia、宏达电（HTC）等大厂，但自金融风暴以来，接连于各地爆发裁员及违法剥削劳工事件，而台湾、中国的劳工也正起身反抗，亟需全球劳工声援支持！
我们呼吁全球各地的劳工朋友，团结起来，共同联署谴责跨国企业胜华科技公司违法剥削劳工！我们也呼吁中国、台湾、印度、南朝鲜等地政府立即对胜华科技公司全面劳动检查！我们更呼吁，身为胜华科技公司主要客户，Apple（iPhone）、Nokia、宏达电（HTC）等品牌商，依国际「供货商行为准则」，要求胜华公司停止剥削劳工！
剥削一：无预警解雇600多名台湾厂劳工！
胜华科技公司于2008年11月起减薪、取消津贴，12月起实施无薪休假，不到半个月(12月17日、18日)就无预警解雇600多名台湾厂劳工。依据员工指称，若包含契约工、外劳，则有近千名员工被解雇。且未向政府办理大量解雇通报及未于60日前提出解雇计划书与员工协商。解雇名单中，有孕妇、不少2年内即可申请退休之届退劳工。此举明显违反性别工作平等法及解雇届退劳工的年龄歧视之嫌。经员工抗争后，孕妇已回厂工作，但其余被解雇劳工仍在抗争中。
资方因单月份(2008.11)订单减少及亏损为由，以台湾劳基法第11条第2款：「亏损或业务紧缩时。」解雇劳工。但查胜华科技公司财报显示，历年法定盈余尚有40亿元。台湾媒体亦报导(2009年2月28日台湾苹果日报「急单胜华产用率升至4成」)，胜华因急单而产用率回升，准备大举征才。令人强烈质疑，资方违反劳基法第11条裁员规定。加上公司内一名坐领高薪的高阶主管可雇用25名现场技术人员？！资方根本未善尽回避解雇的义务。
逃过ㄧ劫保住工作的厂内劳工更不好受！资方持续对员工减薪(取消工作奖金、站别津贴及早班的轮班津贴)、加班不给加班费仅能换补休，要求四二轮班员工需比照常日班劳工补足上班时数，否则以事假计算。致使厂内劳动条件严重恶化，每月工资甚至已低于请领劳保失业给付，员工为领到可谋生的工资必须连续排班不敢休假。
资方并对持续抗争要求复职的劳工代表及自主工联执行长朱维立，提出妨害名誉告诉。
剥削二：片面减薪、短发加班费，东莞厂7000名劳工罢工！
胜华所属的东莞万士达科技，于上周五爆发7000人规模的大罢工，表达对公司不满。
大罢工爆发的主因是伙食太差及违法苛扣班费与其它津贴。按照中国大陆《劳动合同法》，假日加班费必须是平均工资两倍，只要低于两倍，就是违法，无所谓员工同意就能降低的规定。而所谓的「综合工时制」，也必须经由劳工同意，但万士达厂方今年2月要求员工签署同意加班费1.5倍的同意书，却单方面告知员工已经超过半数签署，东莞劳动局也同意加班费降低方案。但由于员工纷纷拒签，心存疑惧的劳工查证发现劳动局根本从未批准。
虽面临金融风暴，但这两个月公司的产能满载，却苛扣员工加班费与津贴。员工的伙食费从8块扣成4.5块，伙食就像馊水一样难吃。员工大骂：「只要台干敢吃这些东西一个星期，我就闭嘴不抱怨！」。另外，公司还取消效益奖金、工作奖金。
资方最后公告维持发放2倍的加班费，要求员工立即复工否则解雇。但因伙食、津贴问题都没解决，最后仍有19名员工坚持继续罢工，被公司解雇。
胜华科技公司严重违反Apple供货商行为准则
1. 胜华科技已经违反供货商行为准则中，「加班费必须按照法令发给的规定」
违法短发加班费：胜华科技台湾各厂逼迫员工放弃加班费及假日出勤之加倍工资，仅能改以补休。胜华科技下属之东莞万士达公司，于今年2月26日贴出公告，指出东莞劳动局已经获准实施假日加班费为平均工资的1.5倍计算方式。但根据中国劳动法，假日加班费为平均工资的2倍，绝无员工同意即可调降加班费的规定。所谓的「综合工时制」，也必须经由劳工同意，但在员工纷纷拒签下，心存疑惧的劳工查证发现劳动局根本从未批准。
2. 胜华科技已经违反供货商行为准则中，「未按照国际劳动标准及当地法令对待劳工」
违法解雇员工：胜华科技下属之东莞万士达公司员工，因短发加班费等劳动条件问题发生罢工，资方最后虽然同意依法发给，但却另立但书，要求所有员工必须于当天下午三点回复工作，有19名员工因继续罢工而被解雇。但由于资方仅同意于数天后才加班费，根据中国劳动相关法令，员工钱没拿到手，有权利不上工，资方的解雇行为违法。
3. 胜华科技已经违反供货商行为准则中，「需提供卫生、保健的食物给员工」。
伙食问题严重：胜华科技下属之东莞万士达公司为了节省成本，将员工每日的餐费由一日人民币8元，减为4.5元，从五菜减为三菜，员工并表示，质量有如馊水、喂猪。这个问题也是员工罢工的主要原因，但资方至今仍未解决。
我们的诉求：
1. 恢复台湾厂遭解雇劳工工作权，并撤销妨害名誉告诉！
2. 出面与东莞厂劳工协商，依法给付工资与加班费！不得对罢工的劳工有解雇、不利待遇等秋后算帐！
3. 中国、台湾、印度、南朝鲜等地政府立即对胜华科技公司全面劳动检查，并要求胜华公司改善劳动条件！否则停止该公司的各项投资计划、土地及租税补贴等优惠措施！
4. 建请Apple（iPhone）、Nokia、宏达电（HTC）等品牌商，需依国际「供货商行为准则」，立即要求胜华改善劳动条件，并且停止打压工人及劳工团体之恶劣行为。如果胜华拒不改善，各大品牌厂商应以维护国际劳动人权之前提，重新检讨与胜华的合作关系。
5. 各大品牌厂应要求胜华允许第三方独立劳工团体入厂（东莞厂、台湾厂、苏州厂）进行劳动检查，以昭公信。

All workers united against sweatshops!
Condemn WINTEK for exploiting labours
2009.04.20
National Federation of Independent Trade Unions, WINTEK bargaining team,Solidarity Union,Youth labor union 95,Taiwan Labor Information & Education Association
WINTEK Corporation (負責人黃顯雄，Headquarter: No.10, Jianguo Rd., Export processing district. Taichung County) was established in 1990. Its majors products include flat monitors such as LCD, LCM and touch panels, occupying the largest market share of touch panels and small-sized mobile phone panels, ranking among top 3 worldwide. WINTEK allocates 12 of its manufacture lines in Taoyuan, Taichung and Kaohsiung, employing as many as 3,550 workers; for its two factories in Dongguan and Soochow, China, 18,150 workers are employed, while its Chennai factory employs 1,450 workers. It spreads its worldwide sales network across the US, Korea and Germany. WINTEK’s major clients include Apple (iPhone), Nokia and HTC.
As the financial crisis strikes home, many employees reported exploited or laid off unjustified by WINTEK, therefore we seek worldwide support for labours in Taiwan and China. We make appeals to labour workers in every nation to unite as one, and to sign the petition condemning the WINTEK for mass exploitation of labours! We make appeals to the governments in China, Taiwan, India and Korea, to examine the working condition at WINTEK! We also appeal that acclaimed brands such as Apple (iPhone), Nokia and HTC would follow the international Supplier Code of Conduct and demand WINTEK to refrain from exploitation!
Case 1: Unexpectedly laying off more than 600 factory workers in Taiwan
Since November 2008, WINTEK had cut salaries and stopped offering benefits, and resorted to forcing unpaid leaves on employees. Within two weeks, more than 600 employees were laid off unexpectedly; the number can rise to near 1000 if contract and migrant workers are to be counted. WINTEK did not file a report to the government or embark on a negotiation process with its employees 60 days beforehand. Pregnant women and veteran workers were among those who got laid-off; this was an ostensibly discriminative action. After protest, the would-be mothers went back to work, but the others are still fighting their jobs back.
The company claimed that this measure was taken because the orders dropped during November 2008, and that it was experiencing a bad loss. However, according to the financial papers, WINTEK still has a surplus of four billion TWD. (approx. $118 million USD) Taiwanese press also reported that WINTEK had received urgent orders, thus needed to hire a good number of new workers. This has proved the company failed to do what it could to prevent mass lay-offs.
For those who appeared lucky to keep their jobs, their pay was cut, (no awards and no subsidies for early shifts) their overtime became unpaid, and the night shifts were asked to work longer hours. The workers would have to work nonstop in order to make enough to survive. Moreover, the company has filed a lawsuit of defamation against, Wei-li Chu, chairperson of National Federation of Independent Trade Unions, who has been assisting the unemployed workers..
Case 2：7,000 workers went on strike for pay cuts and unpaid overtime labour
Dongguan_Masstop in Donguan, a subsidiary of WINTEK, saw more than 7,000 broke in outrage when the workers went on strike last Friday.
The strike was the result of third-rate food offered in the factories, and that the overtime pay and subsidies were held back. According to Chinese labour laws, those who work overtime should be paid twice of their normal wages; which means if they get less than that, the company is breaching the laws. However, Dongguan_Masstop demanded in February the workers to sign an agreement indicating their acceptance of an overtime wage of only 1.5 times of the normal wage. Meanwhile, the company told the workforce that this agreement was approved by the labour administration, which later proved to be a lie.
Albeit the recession, the company’s manufacture lines were working around the clock, while overtime wages and subsidies were being deducted.
The company offered to pay twice the normal wage for overtime, and demanded the workers to get back to work. Because the issues with food and subsidies were left unresolved, 19 of them continued the strike and were eventually laid off.
WINTEK violations of the Apple Supplier Code of Conduct
- WINTEK has violated the code concerning overtime wages: “workers must be compensated for overtime hours at the premium rate required by applicable laws and regulations.”
Underpaid overtime wages：WINTEK forced its Taiwanese employees to give up their overtime pay and holiday subsidies, opting for more days off instead. Dongguan_Masstop , WINTEK’s subsidiary in Dongguan, claimed on February 26th that the labour administration on Dongguan has approved that its 25% cut in holiday overtime wages. In fact, the administration has never approved such change.
- WINTEK has violated the code concerning fair treatment to employees according to applicable laws and regulations.
Illegally laying off workers：Dongguan_Masstop , WINTEK’s subsidiary in Dongguan faced strike because of working condition issues. Though the company agreed to adhere to labour laws and pay overtime wages twice as much as the normal ones, the company made a conditional offer, stating that all workers should be back at work before three in the afternoon. 19 of the workers were laid off because they continued the strike. The fact is, the company agreed to pay the overtime wages only a few days later. According to Chinese labour laws, workers have the rights not to work before they get paid. The company breached the laws by laying them off.
- WINTEK has violated the code concerning dormitory and dining: “Suppliers must provide workers with clean toilet facilities, access to potable water, and sanitary food.”
Food problems: Dongguan_Masstop , WINTEK’s subsidiary in Dongguan, has cut the expenses for daily meals from 8 RMB to 4.5 RMB. Some say the food is a far cry from satisfactory. This issue directly resulted to the strike, but the company has not solved it yet.
Our appeals：
- Give back the jobs taken from the WINTEK employees in Taiwan, and withdraw the lawsuit of defamation.
- Embark on a negotiation process with workers in Dongguan, and pay overtime wages according to applicable regulations. Any retaliation tactics must not be used against workers who participated in the strike.
- Governments in China, Taiwan, India and Korea must examine the working condition at WINTEK, and bid them to improve the standards immediately. Otherwise, all subsidies or tax-cuts shall be suspended.
- We appeal that acclaimed brands such as Apple (iPhone), Nokia and HTC would follow the international Supplier Code of Conduct and demand WINTEK to improve its labour conditions, refrain from exploitation and treat labour unions fairly. If WINTEK shall refuse to do so, the aforementioned brands shall reconsider their partnership with WINTEK, on the premise of basic international labour rights.
- The brands shall demand WINTEK to allow external labour unions or organisations to conduct inspections of labour conditions in its factories across Dongguan, Taiwan and Soochow
