Late last month, 200 sanitation workers at Guangzhou’s University Town took action to demand the right to collectively bargain with their employer and change their sham contracts. The workers also had to elect their own union representatives as there was no enterprise union. Earlier this month, the workers won their demands, but the new employer who took over the contract is now trying to divide the workers by only employing some of them. Not only are the workers remaining united, but they are receiving a lot of support from local university students and families
