Unpopular opinion: For a healthy and attractive economy, people sometimes have to be laid off, restructuring is necessary and companies need incentives to take risks.

Wikipedia: As the parent company of the Hong Kong-registered Zama Group, Stihl owns the Zama production plant in Shenzhen (China), which has repeatedly made headlines in recent years due to strikes by the Chinese workforce. In 2013 due to the excessive employment of temporary workers and in June 2017 due to inadequate worker safety precautions (e.g. no masks and protective gloves were provided for painting work). Both strikes were violently suppressed by the Chinese police (strikes are banned in China).
