• Description:
  From CLB: 9 November 2009: Hundreds of retired and current workers at the Yangtze River No. 2 Hydraulic Plant in Luzhou, Sichuan demonstrated at the gates of the city government. When the plant was restructured in the late 1990s, the workers had held a minority stake in the company. The management gradually reduced the number of workers, and the shares of the laid-off workers were then appropriated by the managers. When workers heard that the plant‘s land was to be sold, they demanded settlement of the outstanding restructuring issues.
