From the World Socialist Web Site:
The Hanzhong Steel strike in turn inspired 900 workers at the company’s Yangjiaba Iron Ore mine, also in Shaanxi province. They blocked a major tunnel from February 23 to 24, and paralyzed the mine’s operation. Miners complained that their poverty wages of 1,500-1,900 yuan could not support their families.

汉中钢铁集团杨家坝铁矿工人罢工(组图)
2012年2月23日,陕西略阳县,杨家坝铁矿职工举行大罢工 ,要求公司涨工资。23、24日两天,罢工工人封堵815主运输隧道,导致采矿系统全面停产。
工人透露,杨家坝的工资是全冶金行业最低,大约1500至1900元之间,不能保证全家人的生活开支。
杨家坝铁矿属于汉中钢铁集团,是陕西最大的冶金地下矿山,员工约九百人。
汉中钢铁五千员工于14-16日在勉县定军山镇发动罢工游行,杨家坝铁矿部分员工亦在14-16日集会商讨待遇问题,结果被当局抓了13人,1人被开除。
