Default can i sue lawsuit on adidas in china, i am working here

The German sportswear giant Adidas has paid a reported £50m to sponsor this summer’s Beijing Olympics with the slogan “Impossible is nothing”.

For the thousands of Chinese workers who earn a basic £11.36 a week making Adidas’s expensive trainers at factories in the industrial city of Fuzhou, one thing does seem impossible: to get fair play.

Workers at the factories in Fuzhou accuse the management of cheating on pay, discriminating against young men and stifling a pioneering attempt to set up a trade union.

They have provided documents appearing to prove that they have to work for more than 70 hours a week to earn a living wage, even though Chinese law limits the average working week, including overtime, to 49 hours.

You could meet with a local lawyer and explore your options. It is indeed possible to sue for labor violations if they can be proven.

World Law's lawyers in China could also probably intervene and perhaps help resolve this if need be. You may email them on the home page.
