The workers were even more miffed when they found out that only the ROC nationals among them were out of a job. 180 Thai workers, who according to the law should have been sent back to their country, had been quietly reassigned to 24 nearby factories, with the local Bureau of Labor Affairs drawing lots to decide their destinations.
令員工更覺「情何以堪」的，是他們發現，原來失業的只有本國勞工，至於廠裡依法應該遣送回國的一百八十多名泰籍外勞，竟悄悄由當地勞工局負責抽籤，分配到附近的二十四家工廠去了。
