A large number of public transit staff, including drivers, staged a strike in a Chinese city as they struggled through being unpaid for at least eight months.
On Nov. 1, crowds of public transit workers rallied at the headquarters of their employer, Pingdingshan Public Transit Group, and its subsidiaries, in the city of Pingdingshan of central China’s Henan Province, state media outlets reported. The group had not paid its drivers for eight months and other logistical staff for more than 12 months. Moreover, the employer had suspended paying premiums for their social insurance programs since 2017.
