You know you’re pretty messed up as a corporation when you’re more extreme than the authoritarian Chinese government in which you have your operations in. Ole Wolff Electronics decided to dismiss workers instead of recognizing the union they formed in response to the issues they have with this corporation. 

Loong-Yu explains that courts on two levels have since ordered Ole Wolff Electronics to reinstate the six sacked workers, but the factory continues to deny them access.

‘The dismissed workers are in a desperate situation. Some of them can’t get new jobs because the factory still has their work permits. The District People’s Court court found in favour of the workers in November 2007, but the company refuses to follow the court ruling and still won’t recognise the union,’ says Loong-Yu.

As a result, the acting chairperson of the union, Jiang Qianqiu, contacted 3F in Denmark for help. The Danish union contacted the company’s CEO with a request to comply with the court order and recognise the union.

You have the Chinese goverment ordering a corporation based in Denmark to reinstate workers! This matches the irony of the US Chamber of Commerce compalining when China tried to implement some labor protections for workers in China. The Chinese government should kick Ole Wolff out of the country if they refuse to comply.
