On 22, 23 and 24 October, about 10,000 retired workers from different enterprises under the former Tianma Textile Group staged a sit-in protest in Shengli Road Square in the city centre of Bengbu, Anhui Province, to demand an increase in their pension payments.
A manager from Macat Textile Factory, a new enterprise recently set up after a company from Guangdong Province bought eight production workshops from the former Tianma Textile Group, told us that his factory currently had no retired workers. However, he explained that many of his employees had parents who were retired workers from the Tianma Textile Group.
