Tens of thousands of workers continued a weeklong strike on Tuesday over what they claimed were underpaid social security benefits by a major shoemaker in Dongguan, Guangdong province.
The protest sends out a warning to companies that rely on low wages and minimum welfare for workers amid an upgrading of the Chinese economy, analysts said.
