Description

From CLB:

On September 29, 2005, more than 100 workers from the Zhiye Shoe Factory in Guangzhou took to the streets demanding that the factory pay their back wages. When the factory opened in June that year, the workers had been promised that wages would be paid monthly, but the August wages had not been paid by the second half of September. After several fruitless attempts to inquire with those responsible at the factory, the workers finally took to the streets in protest.
