Description
From CLB:

On September 20, 2005, more than 10,000 laid-off workers from the Anshan Steel Group conducted a protest demanding higher compensation and the restoration of jobs. According to the Xinhua News Agency, the protests began in the latter half of 2004 when
the gap between the living expenses paid to laid-off workers (on average 1,000 yuan a month, comparable to the average local salary and much higher than the 205 yuan local minimum social welfare standard), and the income of those workers still employed at
Anshan Steel, began to increase significantly.
