China: Workers Stage Series of Protests and Strikes Against Wal-Mart
--------------------------------------------------------------------

In China, workers have staged a series of strikes and protests against
Wal-Mart, demanding better pay and working conditions. At least 20,000
of Wal-Mart's workers in China have joined messaging groups, such as We
Chat, in order to coordinate organizing against the company. This comes
amid a wave of labor organizing in China's service sector. Since July,
workers have organized more than 120 protests and strikes targeting
service companies, including Wal-Mart.
