Workers at Japanese factory strike over time card dispute

SHENZHEN, Guangdong - More than 1,000 workers have been on strike for over a week due to wage deductions at a factory owned by a Japanese watchmaker, local sources say.

Negotiations between the workers and the factory in Guangdong, in South China, are ongoing, despite intervention by the local government.

The strike started on the morning of Oct 17 at the Guanxing Precision Machinery Product Factory, a Japanese-funded facility that makes watch chains for Citizen Holdings.
