In China, Labor Movement Enabled by Technology

It is labor revolt by text message and video upload, underwritten by the Chinese government.The 1,700 workers who went on strike at the Honda Lock auto parts factory here are mostly poor migrants with middle-school educations.But they are surprisingly tech-savvy.Hours into a strike that began last week, they started posting detailed accounts of the walkout online, spreading word not only among themselves but also to restive and striking workers elsewhere in China.
