CLB Press Release on Daqing Oilfield Workers' Protests
Fifty thousand oil workers in Daqing in northeast China stage mass demonstrations and organize an independent union in a struggle against retrenchment. The incident represents a significant yet precarious development in recent labour organizing in China. The Daqing Retrenched Workers' Provisional Union Committee stands as the first successful independent union organizing effort in China since the 1990s.
CLB has talked with the organizers, officials of the local government and the government-run Heilongjiang Federation of Trade Unions. We are compiling all these interviews, and will send you the transcripts and other updates on this significant move of retrenched state workers.
