 | SHANGHAI (Reuters) - A two-day strike over rising fuel prices turned violent in Shanghai on Thursday as thousands of truck drivers clashed with police, drivers said, in the latest example of simmering discontent over inflation. About 2,000 truck drivers battled baton-wielding police at an intersection near Waigaoqiao port, Shanghai's biggest, two drivers who were at the protest told Reuters. |
Truck drivers also staged strikes in other ports in Shanghai including Baoshan and Yangshan, the drivers said.
Inflation coupled with the sharp increases in fuel prices caused a stir that meant trucking companies had to launch strike action on the 20th of April 2011. The initial strike action was only supposed to last 7 days but with clashes on the brink and the government keeping quiet so far, this could go on for longer.
As a result of this, the Shanghai port is facing serious congestion and containers are not being loaded on time. Therefore expect delays!
