Laura Zhou at South China Morning Post reports that authorities in Hunan have summoned riot police after thousands of teachers converged on government buildings this week,<\/a><\/strong> joining a demonstration that began on Tuesday\u00a0over unpaid wages and benefits.<\/p>\n

\n

Videos and photographs circulated online showed uniformed police officers with riot shields stationed in front the county government headquarters.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want a life\u201d, \u201cwe want our salaries,\u201d \u201cwe want to defend our rights\u201d, teachers shouted or demanded on banners, a video of the protest showed.<\/p>\n

Scuffles broke out between police and protesters, but no one was injured, the report said.<\/p>\n

Many teachers travelled from towns and villages around Hengyang county to attend the protest, according to the article.<\/p>\n

A protestor claimed staff had been docked wages and social insurance contributions for over 20 years, while some had also been overcharged for other administration fees. [Source<\/a><\/strong>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Protest monitor Wickedonna wrote that at least ten participating teachers had been taken into custody<\/a>\u00a0as of Wednesday. Photos detailing the ongoing protests are available on Sina<\/a> as well as Wickedonna’s Blogspot<\/a> and Twitter<\/a> pages.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ongoing demonstration resembles a similar mass teacher protest that took place in Heilongjiang in 2014, where educators across the province went on\u00a0strike in response to\u00a0unfulfilled government promises<\/a> to increase wages and related benefits. Meanwhile\u00a0general labor unrest is growing across the country as China’s economy continues to slow<\/a>. The government has responded to worker demonstrations with a heavy hand by\u00a0publicly shaming and jailing protestors<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
