Chinese sanitation workers continue the fight for justice

As previously reported, many workers in China face precarious employment due to casualisation and contracting out. The death of a sanitation worker in Shenzen last month as he was sweeping, has galvanised fellow workers to fight for better working conditions and against outsourcing employment arrangements. This same week, a report by the International Trade Union Confederation ranked China as one of the ten worst countries for workers’ rights.
