Workers being held off their Strikes in China

In 2015, China recorded 2726 strikes and protests by workers upset with their work place grievances.

The decades of unprecedented economic growth has showed some signs of slowing down the last year and a half.

With businesses laying off workers and manufacturing plants shifting to neighboring countries to take advantage of cheaper labor costs and favorable trades agreement, the displaced workers who are angry have been getting more vocal. The higher costs of living since the economic boom also did not help matters for the slower salary growth for the workers.

With more strikes anticipated this year, business owners are resorting to the government and uniformed authority to control the angry crowds of workers during their protest rallies.
