China "automated" stamping plant chinese factory

[thchris]

looks like a easy job... and that is why they get paid so bad... fair!

[supertruckertom]

Yep, duck and cover drill INSIDE the press. We got all upset over Blood Diamonds. I bet there is more blood spilled in Chinese factories in a year than in the decade of civil wars in Sierra Leon over the diamond fields.

[bugzak47]

wtf fuck r they doing ??

[woodwardcars]

@bugzak47 Prolly stamping out USGI helmets...

[brettmjones]

THEY TOOK OUR JOBS!!!

[i3igpete]

showing unions how it should be done. no complaining, no 15 minutes every hour for your cigarette break, no disappearing and taking a nap in the back room and then filing a grievance when you manager says something.

[ijweasel]

gee you wouldn't want to come in to work hungover

[Unimatrixzero1]

LOL really nice video.

[IAMTHEEND666]

The problem is communism. In a free country this would be automated and done with robots, but the communists need to keep everyone working, so innovation stops. In America these guys would be technicians: educated and making good money working "on" the equipment not under it. FREEDOM IS THE SOLUTION TO THE HUMAN CONDITION!

[ohjubba]

Sam Walton owner of Walmart and 30 years of reaganomics are more to blame then the american worker. Walton went to third world countries to buy product cheaper. Ronald Reagan could have stopped this or heavily teriffed imported goods but he was all for big business. So now all other retailers had to do the same and you can no longer go into a store and find a TV or a t-shirt made here .muffin your a spoiled little rich brat whose parents want 2 blame the little man instead of corperate greed

[bananian]

but tariffs would mean no more free trade and free markets, which would be against American principles. :(

[cjd1276]

@ohjubba who signed the trade agreement w/ China in the 90s? He was from what state? where is Wal-Mart HQ? His wife sat on the board of WM. Who had the Chinese over for Tea and sleep overs? Who gave China the missile guidance system for US satellite TV corps? Now China can hit any city in the US w/. a warhead. These are just a few. Go google some of these questions and you might see things differently. Remember when cheap goods were made in Taiwan? They are still a democracy.

[soco13466]

@ohjubba Sam Walton died. Then his family did this. Don't blame Sam Walton. Asshole.

[Chinchilliott]

Just sit there putting down metal parts on a machine AND get paid to do it, best job ever

[muffen6365]

blue collar workforce is largly to blame for the overseas shift in manufacturing.... not so its largely due to inflation. White collars want more profit so they rase the prices on goods... there for the blue collar mans dollar dosent go as far, he asks for a raise, or min wage goes up. white collar has to pay out more, so he wants more profit. so he raises the price again. and this goes on for ever... If we strive to keep inflation low, we can live comfertabily...

[gluepot66]

OMG this is sooo sad too see. no ear or eye protection either

[valdi9165]

Where are the robots?

[soco13466]

Where are the robots. Hmmmmm. You just saw them.

[spdskte]

American corporations found out this is cheaper than robots, despite endangering lives.

[soco13466]

@spdskte Right. Blame it on the Americans. THE PLANT IS IN CHINA. Don't they have labor laws?

[soco13466]

Human automation!

[DrYenisun]

this is the future!

[soco13466]

This is insane. I've worked with large stamping presses. The very idea of anyone between the dies, under the ram, would never happen here. I'll bet those workers don't even have hand controls to operate the ram, I'll bet it is timed, and God help anyone who has any part od their body in the wrong place.

[kinginyellow7]

It seems like we forget that things like food and homes aren't owed to anyone; they are things that need to be earned. We stole our land from Native Americans, made wealth with REAL slaves, and industrialized our nation with labor conditions similar to these. Now we are too attached to luxury and safety to do the hard work that needs to be done to maintain our lifestyle. The Chinese, however, are willing to work hard. It's not their fault we lost our strength and are too tied to luxury.

[sethamicone]

Yes, but you forget that the people who do this kind of work should be getting paid a hell of a lot more than you and I both know that they are.

[Fentanyl3]

If i take a job for 2 dollars an hour, that's what I should be paid to work for. These workers are not forced coerced or otherwise unwilling sitting there, I can guarantee you they are rather happy to be there. I'll be willing to bet that any one of these men would cry and be very embarrassed to come home to his family and have to explain to them that he lost his job not because of an evil corporation but because his workmates were unwilling to take less pay so the job moved to another country.

[bananian]

I'm sure the workers wouldn't complain if they get more than 2 dollars an hour.

And I'm sure if there is a better job than this one, they would go for it.

You say it as if this job is an option out of thousands. Option is a luxury that these people do not have.

[Fentanyl3]

Well said, A man should only be paid to work for what he is willing to work for. And I don't mean what he is comfortable working for. Unions aside, the blue collar workforce is largly to blame for the overseas shift in manufacturing

[gagecube]

Just remember, Far far worse conditions were in place in Great Britain when the industrial revolution kicked off. The Empire was at its peak and Britain was the wealthiest nation on earth yet most of the British population lived in appaling poverty far worse than any black slave had to endure. Kids would be sent underneath cotton looms, and probably steel presses too. Yet everyone forgets this.

[bananian]

that's where labour union is born. :)

[Unfavourably]

@gagecube Yet that was 200 years ago and we're supposed to be in a different day. We have to remind our politicians all over the world that we will not stand for this type of behavior and buy Fair trade products. Unless you're a hypocrite.

[InstantRebate]

Communisn at its best. Sad!

[InstantRebate]

Hey, Communism does not allow Unions and besides, they got more workers "when needed" at the drop of a dime. No OSHA, no safety standards.

[tinramm]

agreed!

[executivedriver]

Take a good look. This is where we're going in this country after the unions are gone and the ultra-right wing nut jobs like Shelby and Corker get their way.

[kdj65]

UNREAL!! When you have 1.5 billion people you can sacrifice a few to become the largest manufacturer in the world at any cost. What happens to the U.S. when we dont produce any goods?

[lovedirtychink]

this is how we're rich! we dont pay workers! just give them little food!

[palejimbitko]

crazy fucking bullshit....

never think for workwrs safety...

fuck off...

[James05574]

I hate to say this but your wrong! There is a increase of parts made in China that the big 3 are installing on their cars i.e. floor mats,

brake rotors, wheels bolts nuts etc.....

[ytp427]

GM made and sold around 300k Buicks in China last year.

[mydogsteve]

Great post! This is what working was like during the 1800s in Britian, US and Western Europe. Its easy to understand now how unions came to be and the value they hold in a society.

[banzaidawan]

Spare us the Hypocrisy. Sixty percent of the Sweatshops in China are Foreign-owned. If you want to protest, do so at their headquarters in YOUR own country.

[OldSneelock]

Let's send some bleeding heart liberal tree hugger over there and the EPA will shut down their factory too.

[deesies]

and that is why china will become a major superpower. Nothing in their way.

[mikebostonjones]

Chinese wokers will never get a brake untill they get rid of CCP and NPC. They are unelected officials only looking after themself. They need to get rid of Hukuo System.

[mizutofu]

Ya, chinese workers will get a brake when they elect a far-left socialist party, oh wait.

[NCH1961]

I wouldn't be suprised if they were making parts for one of the "Big Three" or the world's most sorry-ass store, Wal-Mart!

[ZyniPhoenix]

big three?

[johnebii]

GM, Ford and Chrysler...the 'Big 3' U.S. auto manufacturers

[paulsilvius]

danm!!!!!!

[gtdude75]

they chinez are going to die soo cause the press is going to give out and fall on them and they will die and then we wont need to worry about them comming over heer and taking our jobs

[afodis]

It don't look to good but if they replace those guys with full automation they will loose jobs and go to America and take your job because they'll work for almost nothing.

So in the end it all your fault because you're buying allthis chinese crap in the 1st place. Get it? Now you're all f..up in the head aren't you. Hehe

[afodis]

Welcome to modern society!

[sslloobb]

welcome to the global economy

[emutiny]

cool man

[mattsujun]

Holy Crap!

[philly1537]

chinese human robots

[TaxEvasion]

looks like they need to get jobs farming phat lewtz from playing online computer games!! =p

[LongIslandEddie]

Of course this wouldn't happen in America! There are no fucking jobs left in America, they've all moved to China, the new yellow peril.

[Sputm]

...and you can buy what they are making at RollBack prices thanks to your local Walmart!

[octigonwallrus]

hell yeah i love wal-mart.

[danieldoylem]

Lulz, I want a new pan.

[rencris67]

the holly economic war

[myquillsun]

I SEE NO PROBLEMS HERE.

[z0diacx]

..and I thought MY job sucked...

[Badrod413]

what you see is the real cost of a buisness model that demands forever decreasing consumer pricing while at the same time providing maximum corprate profits no matter what

[dfp7777]

Unbelievable

[pipefitter0127]

This is just wrong...I don't care who you are!

[scannsw]

This is amazing. No way in the western world this type of mal work practice would be allowed. Very dangerous. Would only take one guy to be that bit slow, or tired, and his hand or arm woudl be gone.

[PackageSeverance]

no way would it happen in the US, particularly, since we Americans will whine whine whine and sue each other to death

[idrive240]

wow
