      Hi.
      I am a Canadian working in Shanghai. I work for a company which is owned, in partnership, by both Chinese and non-Chinese.

      This compoany has made some bad financial decisions which they are attempting to hide by using the Global Crisis as an excuse for their poor performance. Recently this company has broken contract with its Chinese and non-Chinese workers on three separate occassions. Just today this company has notified all staff, Chinese and non-Chinese, that we will only recieve 25% of our salary this month.

      Who do we speak to so as to receive some protection from these actions?
