Some began to smash facilities and vehicles about 8:45am despite explanations by management and local government officials. The workers also blocked a road and threw stones at police. No casualties were reported.

The committee has asked the company to clarify the rumors and fix the problems as soon as possible.
Officials from SIP bureaus of economic development, social security and work safety were liaising with worker representatives.
