DONGGUAN , China, April 25 (UPI) -- As many as 50,000 workers are on strike at Yue Yuen Industrial in Dongguan, China, a major supplier of Adidas and Nike apparel.
Workers walked off the job saying they are not being paid the social insurance and housing benefits they are owed, adding that fraudulent work contracts prevent them from enrolling their children in local schools. The factory offered to recalculate its payments but offered no adjusted contracts, and strikers refused the offer.
