What happened to a cotton mill in Baoding?

Thousands of workers are hiking in Beijing for an indefinite holiday. It is also the invention of the working class. This is a hiking trip, not a petition or a visit to avoid being put into a mental hospital collectively. Thousands of workers from Baoding No.1 Cotton Group in Hebei Province passed through Baoding City from the factory gate, saying that they would "go" to Beijing on foot along 107 National Road, because they were given an indefinite holiday by the enterprise and demanded to solve the problem of unpaid endowment insurance and provident fund since 2004. According to a female worker, there are about 6,000 people waiting in line. Because the factory was sold, Wang Lijuan, the head of the enterprise, said that the enterprise was sold to a Hong Kong-funded company. At first, it was said that it registered 50 million US dollars, but now it has only reached10 million. The factory wants to give workers a holiday indefinitely, and it has been closed for a week recently. Everyone wants to solve the problem of arrears of old-age insurance since 2004. Some women workers said that they came out of the cotton mill at 8 o'clock in the morning, walked along Dongfeng Road in Baoding City to Lianchi North Street, then turned to 107 National Road and walked to Beijing, where they "marched". There are also local leaders in the queue. The queues of "tourists" are all moving slowly along the sidewalk on the right side of the expressway, in good order. The traffic police directed vehicles and personnel at various road sections and intersections, which did not cause serious traffic congestion. Many local policemen followed the parade to prevent accidents, and factory workers spontaneously delivered water along the way. At eleven o'clock in the morning, thousands of workers marched on Xu Shui, Hebei. At 1 40 pm, Li Xi, executive vice mayor of Baoding, rushed to the scene, and together with Liu Baoling, deputy mayor in charge of persuasion, continued to persuade the workers to go back and negotiate to solve the problem, and said that the Baoding Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government had made a resolution to send a working group to the factory this afternoon. The persuasion of government workers a few days ago failed to stop the queue from continuing, and the situation is still booming.
