A U.S. executive said on Monday that he had kidnapped his medical supplies factory in Beijing score requirements dismissed workers, like those for 30 colleagues in the phasing out sector four days.
Chip Starnes, 42, a co-owner of Coral Springs, Florida-based professional medical supplies, said local officials had visited the outskirts of the capital, 10-year-old plant, and forced him to sign an agreement on Saturday to meet the workers' requirements, and even though he tried to make clear, the rest of the 100 workers were not laid off.
Workers are expected to wire Tuesday, he said, adding, of which about 80 have been blocked every exit around the clock, and deprived him of sleep shining bright lights and banging his office window. He refused to clarify the amount, he said he wanted to keep it secret.
"I feel like a trapped animal," Starnes told the Associated Press reporter, from his first-floor office window to the window bars on Monday, while holding. "I think it is inhuman, how it is, now 10 years, I have been in this field, and create a lot of jobs, I would never have thought in my imagination that will happen."
Inside the compound, Huairou District of Beijing in the northeast suburbs of gates and fence behind the two-story building, a pair of workers have repeatedly declined to comment, saying they do not want to talk to foreign media.
Local police spokesman said police at the scene to maintain order. Four uniformed police officers and a dozen other people who do not want to disclose his identity, standing across the road from the factory.
Huairou Public Security Bureau of recruiting spokesman said: "As far as I know, there is a worker with the company management and dispute resolution labor disputes." "I do not know the details about the solution, but I can guarantee personal safety manager."
Representatives from the U.S. Embassy stood outside the door, but said they did not comment.
The protest reflects China's economic slowdown and a sense of responsibility, increasing labor costs make the country less attractive place workers in foreign-owned factories increasingly restless. For local officials forced Starnes to meet the workers' demands - if true - the account reflects the officials usually considered revoked unrest is a top priority.
Managers will hold the workers demanded pay or other benefits, often from their Chinese owners, although occasionally involving a foreign boss is not uncommon in China. Such an event is unusual because most of these companies have moved elsewhere in China, because the high cost of capital, held in Beijing.
Starnes said the company has been gradually winding its plastics division, plans to move to Mumbai, India. He arrived in Beijing last Tuesday laid off nearly 30 people. Some have been working there for nine years, so their remuneration was "quite good," he said.
Some workers in other sectors have been the wind, coupled with rumors that the whole plant was transferred to India on Friday began to demand similar severance pay.
