Chinese Auto-Glass Magnate Faces Union Challenge in Ohio
A small number of Chinese companies — such as Fuyao
and Qingdao Haier, the appliance maker, with a plant in South Carolina — have opened factories in the United States.
Workers at the plant — owned by Mr. Cao’s company, Fuyao Glass — will vote on Wednesday and Thursday on whether to unionize.
FUQING, China — Cao Dewang saw his impoverished mother nearly die of starvation more than
50 years ago, during a famine driven by Mao’s mismanaged push to industrialize China.
Mr. Cao said Fuyao had hired the initial workers for its factory without trying to screen them for pro-union tendencies.
Athena Hou, the chief legal officer of Fuyao Glass America, said the company denied the accusations “categorically”
and dismissed them as part of a misinformation campaign by the union.
Most of the time, Mr. Cao said, “people like me would rather stay in China than go to the U. S.”
Still, others may follow thanks to politics and the potential for President Trump to impose trade restrictions.
“I started from the very bottom of society, so I understand the wants
and needs of those at the very bottom,” said Mr. Cao in an interview earlier this year.
