State-Owned Construction Company Workers Protest in Shenzhen

• Date: Nov 7 2005 Time: 18:41
• Description:
  From CLB: In early November of 2005, thousands of construction workers from four state-owned construction companies in Shenzhen protested in the streets. The workers said that during the companies’ restructuring early in the year, they had been promised compensation of over 40,000 yuan, whereas they only received 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. [Note: As the report only gives a date of "early November," I am placing the incident on the end of the first week of the month, November 7].
