#sengled — Public Fediverse posts

@Mumonkan I know the trade war has left them unable to pay 1000 Chinese employees there and there is a big protest about it.

" Employees at Sengled Optoelectronics say the company has failed to pay their wages for three consecutive months, which prompted protesters to march to the local town hall to demand a resolution on April 29.

A Sengled employee confirmed the protest in a telephone interview with The Epoch Times on April 30. “Over a thousand of us went to the town hall to protest,” the worker said. “Employees’ wages haven’t been paid for half a year.”

“Over a dozen people were arrested,” he said. "The company owes wages to over 1,000 full-time workers. We are all entitled to full benefits—pensions, retirement funds, unemployment insurance. The amount they owe is huge, but they haven’t given us any explanation."

The worker said that the factory owner owes the government a great deal of money and the “factory should’ve shut down long ago.”

Supposedly there are youtube videos about it, too.

Anyone else having issues with Sengled lightbulbs. They seem to be having server issues for the last 20 or so hours and we're having to turn the lights on and off like it was 2015 again.
Even logging into the app fails.

I found some used #PhillipsHue 75W bulbs on Amazon for about $30 a piece but they got cancelled 😓

I just want some durable #zigbee bulbs that don't cost as much as a AAA video game on launch day!

Nearly all my #sengled bulbs have burnt out, so I thought I'd just buy name brand but FFS #Phillips; $170 for four 75W bulbs!? I own cheaper TVs!
