New | Workers strike for ‘mooncake’ bonus at Guangdong subsidiary of Apple supplier

A day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, hundreds of workers from Dongguan Masstop, a subsidiary of Apple supplier Wintek, went on a strike to demand their holiday reward: mooncakes and a holiday bonus.

On Tuesday morning around 9 o’clock, workers blocked roads near the factory to stage a protest, returning to the factory two hours later.

The Southern Metropolis Daily reported that workers took to the street because the company refused to give them mooncakes as a gift and pay them a 600 yuan holiday bonus.

In its recruitment information online, technology supplier Dongguan Masstop pledged a 600 yuan bonus be paid to employees during the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival holidays, depending on the company’s financial health.

But workers failed to receive any special payment for this year's Mid-Autumn Festival.

The company did not specify the reason for not paying the bonus.
