Workers Riot at Maersk Factory in Southern China

Hundreds of workers at a factory in southern China owned by Danish shipping giant Maersk rioted earlier this week, clashing with security guards and smashing property after a colleague [Zhao Hongwei] was beaten for jumping a lunchtime queue...Zhao…said the security guards often bullied and beat up the workers, but it was the workers who always ended up getting fined by the company. The office workers were unhappy too, because the company kept cutting their wages...Repeated attempts to interview a senior executive at Maersk met with no response...But an official at the local government's foreign trade and economic affairs bureau said they would be investigating.
