Chinese workers stranded in Japan as employer flees

SHANGHAI - Six Chinese workers have been stranded in Japan after their employer shut down his factory and disappeared on March 14 without paying them salaries for more than a year.

The Japanese employer owes the six women a total of 10.2 million yen ($112,765).

The women, all of whom are natives of Shanghai, are living in a shed, which was provided by their employer, while they try to figure out a way to get their salaries.
