Description

From CLB:

From September 16 to 19, 2005, more than 300 employees at the Zhongyuan Measuring Instrument Company, in Sanmenxia city in Henan province, went on strike in protest at the company’s restructuring proposal. The workers demanded an increase in wages and redundancy payments. The workers said that although the restructuring proposal was approved by the factory’s workers’ congress, the majority of the employee representatives were managers or were directly delegated by managers, and only a small
proportion of representatives was directly elected by the workers.
