On October 4, a netizen posted a yearbook showing that the average monthly wage in Shandong had reached 3570 yuan in 2012. Fourteen years later, many local netizens report that actual wages are still stuck at 2000 to 3000 yuan, and they complained about inflated advertised pay in job postings, the splitting of performance pay, and the widespread 12-hour two-shift system in factories, among other regressions in labor rights.
