Workers Demand Union at Wal-Mart Supplier in China

From The New York Times: “The scene on the street did not look like much, just the comings and goings of small groups of women from their factory dormitory, with a few lingering here and there in knots to discuss their situation.

Since Friday, though, work has stopped inside the Uniden factory’s walls here, where 12,000 workers, mostly young women from China’s poor interior provinces, make wireless phones, which the Japanese manufacturer supplies in large number to the giant American retailer Wal-Mart.”
