Join Workers Against the CCP to protest exploitation and abuse by corporate giant Apple and the Chinese state. Power and freedom to workers, East and West, against corporate and state bureaucrat power and profit!
Apple makes tens of billions of profits every year, and last year became the world’s first $3 trillion company. Its bosses and shareholders make their wealth on the backs of workers in factories, shops and offices across the world.
Investigations have repeatedly linked the factories that build Apple’s products to the Chinese state’s forced labour programmes, conscripting the persecuted Uyghur people to make profits for big business and state bureaucrats.
Even outside the forced labour programmes, Chinese workers are banned from forming free trade unions to assert their rights, helping enable hyper-exploitation in appalling conditions. In the notorious Foxconn factories making Apple products, some have been driven to suicide. In 2022, workers were locked into Zhengzhou’s vast “iPhone City”, to maintain production during a COVID outbreak. Their rebellions and jailbreaks helped spark the countrywide “White Paper” protest movement.
To maintain a cosy business relationship with the Chinese state, Apple helps its censorship regime. In 2019 the company removed access to an app that Hong Kong democracy activists had used to organise during protests. In 2022, it curbed the AirDrop feature that activists had used to spread dissident messages.
And on our own high streets, the retail workers who sell those products are battling union-busting, real-terms wage cuts, precarity and discrimination - showing how workers around the world have more in common with each other than with our bosses and our governments.
Join us to stand up for workers’ rights, freedom and international solidarity!
Update: United Tech & Allied Workers union members at the London store send their support for the protest!
