From Green Left:

News of what appear to be spontaneous rebellions by workers against attacks on their social rights and living standards resulting from the Chinese Communist Party bureaucracy's drive to restore capitalism continue to seep out of China.

On March 26 in Baiyun district of Guiyang, the capital of the south-western Guizhou province, which is one of China's poorest, 1500 workers staged a public demonstration of their anger at having not received their wages for a year, according to the Hong Kong-based Information Centre for Human Rights and Democracy (ICHRD).

On the same day in Henan province's Xinye county, 500 workers at a fertiliser factory also resorted to protest action to press for wages in arrears, also behind for a year.
