30 workers from GRAND ROYAL alcohol
factory demonstrated at the Industrial Zone (2) on the
Kanaung Min Thar Gyi road, Mandalay Pyi Gyi Tagon Township
because two members of Trade Union were dismissed by the employer.
Ko Zaw Sai Min, a former chairman of Trade Union said “We
don’t want anyone fired. Nobody wants to quit from their works. Four members
were also fired who were in the first group of Trade Union. Now both of our
chairman and finance were dismissed again. It is not justice because they have
no reason to fire us and they said they don’t need a lot of workers”.
On the 12th day of this
month, 4 skilled workers who took part in Trade Union were being sacked. It is
because of using drug and alcohol in the compound of factory according to U Soe
Min say, a factory coordinator.
Now, there are 6 workers all
together who are being fired from work. Although officers from the township
department of labor came to negotiate with the employer, workers are not
allowed to get into the factory compound.
