Description
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.
