>About 2,000 North Korean workers dispatched to China’s Jilin Province started a riot in mid-January triggered by anger over unpaid wages, a North Korean source told The Yomiuri Shimbun.

        What do you mean? Communist podcasts I listened to consider them Communist, Internet search says the BBC says they are Communist.

    The riot occurred at a clothing manufacturing and seafood processing factory

    That…is an interesting combination

      You’re a literal slave? You are not paid for the work you do? You work sleep work and nothing else? You are physically and mentally mistreated at work? Does your work make you suicidal? Are you unable to switch to a different job? Do you live under a dictatorial regime? Will you be shot and killed if you try to escape?

      Yeah, I doubt you can honestly say yes to even a single one of those questions. Some of today’s work environments have issues, with a lot of them caused by companies, but a lot of them also caused by the likes of you who do want the perks and the money, but who just flat out refuse to do anything at all beyond complaining and talking about murdering those that did work hard.

      I’ve been a low level employee, I’ve been dirt poor, I worked myself up over the years. I’ve had loads of shitty bosses, I’ve been (technically still am) a company owner, now I’m a C level director. I work hard, work responsibly, and try to do the best for all employees in my teams. Should I be murdered too?

      With people like you it’s not the company that is a problem, you are the problem. Fix your own life before you start threatening those that you don’t like

      Until China has to kill all of them because North Korea won’t take them back.

      Welcome to the Rednecks, North Koreans.

          What exactly are you confused about?

          That the Chinese and North Koreans would rather kill 2000 people than pay them? Or The history and origin of the original Redneck?

            I don’t think they’ll be killed. Neither North Korea nor China are that stupid. I do think that they’ll be forced to work until they drop and paid nothing or paid a pittance, even by Chinese standards, with the bulk of the value of their labour being split between the company that they work for and the Chinese and North Korean states.

              dude, they decided to have a little uprising and decapitated their boss (who in systems like china gets the job because of government connections), they have done a lot worse for a lot less

      North Koreans in China showing the world how it’s done. Who had THAT on their bingo card ?

      Americans forget their middle class existed for the short time it did exactly because of actions like this.

      You don’t fight the enemy sitting on your toilet reading Lemmy posts. (It’s still fun though)

      I read this somewhere else on Lemmy recently (sorry for comment steal):

      American companies that are trying to dismantle unions need to understand that unions were a compromise to protect the companies. Because this is the alternative.

        This issue extends to politicians as well. If you replace “Ancien Régime” with “Oligarchy-flavored Republic” it’s almost like we’re living the beginning script of the French Revolution here in America. That should induce quite the pandemic of sweaty palms in D.C. If that Oaf gets reelected, we’re gonna have a Louis XVI on our hands… and we all know how that went down…
