  From CLB: 5 February 2010: Nearly 100 laid-off workers from the Yuyong Power Company in Chongqing demonstrated outside the Municipal Party Committee building in protest at the government‘s refusal to provide them with a subsistence allowance. After restructuring in 1996, the company‘s management forced workers to accept a one-off compensation payment but the laid-off workers were all having difficulties finding new employment and making ends meet.
