CHINA'S Yue Yuen Industrial Holdings, the world's largest sports shoe maker, said on Wednesday that thousands of workers at a factory in the south of the country have gone on strike following changes to production processes.
About 4,000-5,000 staff at Yue Yuen, which supplies footwear for Nike and Adidas, were protesting at facilities that produce shoes for international brands, said Jerry Shum, the firm's Hong Kong-based investor relations director. He didn't identify the brands supplied by the plant.
