BANGALORE, India (Reuters) -- Honda Motor Co. was forced to shut all four of its Chinese auto assembly plants after workers at its parts factory in southern China walked off the job, demanding a wage hike, the Nikkei business daily said.

 

Talks between labor and management broke down Monday and Honda is unsure when production will resume, the daily said.

 

Output has been suspended since Monday's night shift at both the Zengcheng facility, which produces the mainstay Accord sedan, and the Huangpu plant, the paper said.

 

At the Wuhan facility, which churns out the Civic and other offerings, production came to a standstill beginning with the night shift Wednesday, the Nikkei said.

 

The protests were triggered by workers at the company's transmission facility in Foshan in Guangdong Province. Monthly salaries for factory employees there average 1,500 yuan, or about $220.

 

The workers are seeking a raise to 2,000 yuan to 2,500 yuan, which is on a par with what employees at Honda's auto assembly plants receive, the paper said

If the Chinese keep this up then sooner or later all the other workers in the industries will strike for higher costs and it won't be beneficial for American companies to outsource or move operations overseas because of cheap labor!

Eventually, everyone will want what the west has and the standard of living that goes with it.

Overseas low cost labor is just a stop-gap to meet short term bottom line cost targets to improve profitability numbers for stockholders.

Labor costs are just one piece of a very big puzzle.

 

This will all even out.

      Winter Returned

      .30” of rain all month and it’s been weeks since that. “Mowed” our two properties today for the first time since July 2nd. It only took 30 minutes because all I had to do was level some weeds and saplings in a few problem areas. Everything else is dead.

      Shift to Park Message Warranty Claim

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Dealer reported a failed shifter module assembly so the whole shifter is getting replaced. Yet another premature repair… up to $12,000+ in extended warranty payout in only 5 years and 80,000 miles!

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      According to the dealer it’s an internal leak/failure of the compressor.  Again, another failure that shouldn’t happen at only 5 years and 80k miles.  For some reason the compressors must be hard to come by right now, because the truck’s been at the dealer almost a week and they just located a compressor at another dealer several states away today.  We’ll see if this fixes the issue.

      Brake Bleed Procedure

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a reply on this thread or a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - ACDelco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles. When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so i did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance.

      I wasn’t commenting on your post. Certainly wasn’t arguing. I was making an observation on my long term experience with supposedly proper length of driving for proper heat cycles. Works for me. Although I have seen water or vapor come out of exhaust when vehicles weren’t run very long and shut off. It’s very humid in the morning. Then hot and humid.
