天津摩托罗拉厂7000工人大罢工

According to Radio Free Asia, 7,000 workers from Motorola’s Tianjin factory went on strike last Wednesday to protest against inadequate compensation after the sale of the factory to Singapore company Flextronics. The workers are reported to have blocked the factory gates and exits demanding that the company give them a reasonable compensation practice. Although the factory and workers’ representatives met to negotiate, negotiations are reported to have failed to reach any agreement.
