Meixing Shoe Factory Workers Strike in Zhuhai, Guangdong

20:00 Apr 15 2004 Zhuhai, Guangdong, People's Republic of China

Description
From CLB:

On July 4 and 5, 2005, nearly 1,000 workers at the Meixing Shoe Company in Zhuhai, Guangdong went on strike to protest management’s lowering of their wages. Work hours at the factory were as high as 81 hours per week, but overtime payments were less than regular wages. Workers received no paid vacation, maternity leave, or health insurance. Workers had conducted strikes on two other occasions, in April of 2004 and May of 2005.

[Note: The precise date for the April 2004 strike is not given, so I have put it in the middle of the month. CLB report cites a CLW report, but the CLW report does not appear to be online any longer.]
