300 laid-off steelworkers from the Wugang Iron and Steel factory in Henan province protested last week over lack of compensation following their dismissal. The workers are reported to have marched to the city government offices for help recovering the compensation. However when government officials did not come out to speak with them, the workers blocked a road. The authorities then sent more than two hundred police to forcibly disperse the workers, resulting in several workers being injured.
