Hundreds strike at Singapore-owned plant in China

More than 200 workers at a Singapore-owned electronics plant in Shanghai remained on strike for a third day on Friday to denounce what they said was a management plan for mass layoffs, the latest outbreak of labour unrest in China.

Blue-jacketed workers, chanting slogans and holding aloft banners demanding management explanations, blocked the entrance to the factory owned by Hi-P International in the Pudong district of China's commercial hub.

Hi-P is an electronics contract manufacturer whose customers include Apple and BlackBerry maker Research in Motion , according to media and analyst reports.
