Taxi Drivers Strike in Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang

• Date: Mar 6 2005 Time: 19:29
• Description:
  [Note: Although this report mentions that strikes occurred across the province and talks about gathering in Harbin, the most concrete details are about activism in Mudanjiang---and it is unclear if those activists ever made it to Harbin. I am therefore coding Mudanjiang as the site]. From Boxun: 据网友来稿，呼吁关注东北黑龙江全省出租车因不满政府车辆管理部门的黑箱操作腐败问题,而在全省范围内举行串联大罢工,至今己持续三天.许多出租车会集哈尔滨游行示威。 牡丹江市出租车在奔赴声援省会哈尔滨途中。被牡丹江市政府派出大量警员拦截,现己拘捕多人. 牡市内车行自行严禁出车,有几辆不守规矩出租车出车时被砸烂.目前罢工还在进行,据目击者说,个体工商户及外出打工人已经加入到罢工队伍,整个黑龙江似乎开始春潮涌动......
