Bus drivers continue strike against management

KUNMING - A total of 124 bus drivers in Nujiang Lisu autonomous prefecture of Southwest China's Yunnan province continued their strike on Monday in protest over a reform imposed by the local transportation company.

Drivers started their strike last Thursday in response to the reform pushed forward by the prefecture's transportation group.

Prior to the reform, drivers had ownership of the buses and affiliated themselves with the company. The reform is now pushing drivers to sell their vehicles to the company and then take out a contract for operational rights, according to local media reports.
