勝華科技(股)公司（負責人黃顯雄，總公司/台中縣潭子鄉台中加工出口區建國路10號），成立於1990年，主要生產LCD、LCM、Touch Panel等平面顯示器，市佔率已是台灣小尺寸手機面板廠、觸控式螢幕排名第一、全球排名前三強。主要生產線，分別在台灣的桃園楊梅、台中、高雄有12間廠房，僱用3,550人；在中國的東莞與蘇州2廠，僱用18,150人；在印度的清奈1廠，僱用1,450人。還有在美國、韓國、德國等地的全球行銷據點。
勝華科技公司，規模龐大的高科技跨國企業，主要訂單來自Apple（iPhone）、Nokia、宏達電（HTC）等大廠，但自金融風暴以來，接連於各地爆發裁員及違法剝削勞工事件，而台灣、中國的勞工也正起身反抗，亟需全球勞工聲援支持！
我們呼籲全球各地的勞工朋友，團結起來，共同連署譴責跨國企業勝華科技公司違法剝削勞工！我們也呼籲中國、台灣、印度、韓國等地政府立即對勝華科技公司全面勞動檢查！我們更呼籲，身為勝華科技公司主要客戶，Apple（iPhone）、Nokia、宏達電（HTC）等品牌商，依國際「供應商行為準則」，要求勝華公司停止剝削勞工！
剝削一：無預警解雇600多名台灣廠勞工！
勝華科技公司於2008年11月起減薪、取消津貼，12月起實施無薪休假，不到半個月(12月17日、18日)就無預警解雇600多名台灣廠勞工。依據員工指稱，若包含契約工、外勞，則有近千名員工被解雇。且未向政府辦理大量解雇通報及未於60日前提出解雇計畫書與員工協商。解雇名單中，有孕婦、不少2年內即可申請退休之屆退勞工。此舉明顯違反性別工作平等法及解雇屆退勞工的年齡歧視之嫌。經員工抗爭後，孕婦已回廠工作，但其餘被解僱勞工仍在抗爭中。
資方因單月份(2008.11)訂單減少及虧損為由，以台灣勞基法第11條第2款：「虧損或業務緊縮時。」解雇勞工。但查勝華科技公司財報顯示，歷年法定盈餘尚有40億元。台灣媒體亦報導(2009年2月28日台灣蘋果日報「急單勝華產用率升至4成」)，勝華因急單而產用率回升，準備大舉徵才。令人強烈質疑，資方違反勞基法第11條裁員規定。加上公司內一名坐領高薪的高階主管可僱用25名現場技術人員？！資方根本未善盡迴避解雇的義務。
逃過ㄧ劫保住工作的廠內勞工更不好受！資方持續對員工減薪(取消工作獎金、站別津貼及早班的輪班津貼)、加班不給加班費僅能換補休，要求四二輪班員工需比照常日班勞工補足上班時數，否則以事假計算。致使廠內勞動條件嚴重惡化，每月工資甚至已低於請領勞保失業給付，員工為領到可謀生的工資必須連續排班不敢休假。
資方並對持續抗爭要求復職的勞工代表及自主工聯執行長朱維立，提出妨害名譽告訴。
剝削二：片面減薪、短發加班費，東莞廠7000名勞工罷工！
勝華所屬的東莞萬士達科技，於上週五爆發7000人規模的大罷工，表達對公司不滿。
大罷工爆發的主因是伙食太差及違法苛扣班費與其它津貼。按照中國大陸《勞動合同法》，假日加班費必須是平均工資兩倍，只要低於兩倍，就是違法，無所謂員工同意就能降低的規定。而所謂的「綜合工時制」，也必須經由勞工同意，但萬士達廠方今年2月要求員工簽署同意加班費1.5倍的同意書，卻單方面告知員工已經超過半數簽署，東莞勞動局也同意加班費降低方案。但由於員工紛紛拒簽，心存疑懼的勞工查證發現勞動局根本從未批准。
雖面臨金融風暴，但這兩個月公司的產能滿載，卻苛扣員工加班費與津貼。員工的伙食費從8塊扣成4.5塊，伙食就像餿水一樣難吃。員工大罵：「只要台幹敢吃這些東西一個星期，我就閉嘴不抱怨！」。另外，公司還取消效益獎金、工作獎金。
資方最後公告維持發放2倍的加班費，要求員工立即復工否則解雇。但因伙食、津貼問題都沒解決，最後仍有19名員工堅持繼續罷工，被公司解雇。
勝華科技公司嚴重違反Apple供應商行為準則
1. 勝華科技已經違反供應商行為準則中，「加班費必須按照法令發給的規定」
違法短發加班費：勝華科技台灣各廠逼迫員工放棄加班費及假日出勤之加倍工資，僅能改以補休。勝華科技下屬之東莞萬士達公司，於今年2月26日貼出公告，指出東莞勞動局已經獲准實施假日加班費為平均工資的1.5倍計算方式。但根據中國勞動法，假日加班費為平均工資的2倍，絕無員工同意即可調降加班費的規定。所謂的「綜合工時制」，也必須經由勞工同意，但在員工紛紛拒簽下，心存疑懼的勞工查證發現勞動局根本從未批准。
2. 勝華科技已經違反供應商行為準則中，「未按照國際勞動標準及當地法令對待勞工」
違法解雇員工：勝華科技下屬之東莞萬士達公司員工，因短發加班費等勞動條件問題發生罷工，資方最後雖然同意依法發給，但卻另立但書，要求所有員工必須於當天下午三點回復工作，有19名員工因繼續罷工而被解雇。但由於資方僅同意於數天後才加班費，根據中國勞動相關法令，員工錢沒拿到手，有權利不上工，資方的解雇行為違法。
3. 勝華科技已經違反供應商行為準則中，「需提供衛生、保健的食物給員工」。
伙食問題嚴重：勝華科技下屬之東莞萬士達公司為了節省成本，將員工每日的餐費由一日人民幣8元，減為4.5元，從五菜減為三菜，員工並表示，品質有如餿水、餵豬。這個問題也是員工罷工的主要原因，但資方至今仍未解決。
我們的訴求：
- 恢復台灣廠遭解雇勞工工作權，並撤銷妨害名譽告訴！
- 出面與東莞廠勞工協商，依法給付工資與加班費！不得對罷工的勞工有解雇、不利待遇等秋後算帳！
- 中國、台灣、印度、韓國等地政府立即對勝華科技公司全面勞動檢查，並要求勝華公司改善勞動條件！否則停止該公司的各項投資計畫、土地及租稅補貼等優惠措施！
- 建請Apple（iPhone）、Nokia、宏達電（HTC）等品牌商，需依國際「供應商行為準則」，立即要求勝華改善勞動條件，並且停止打壓工人及勞工團體之惡劣行為。如果勝華拒不改善，各大品牌廠商應以維護國際勞動人權之前提，重新檢討與勝華的合作關係。
- 各大品牌廠應要求勝華允許第三方獨立勞工團體入廠（東莞廠、台灣廠、蘇州廠）進行勞動檢查，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
