200 timber workers demonstrated for
breaking agreement of contract between employer and employees by a timber
company in a specific period of day from War Tayar industrial zone, Shwe Pyi
Thar, Yangon.
We are going on strike because they
are persuading some workers to get into another labor group which will support only
them social welfare cards and other specials. It is discrimination.
When Workers demonstrated two times for
8 demands, employer said that it will be done by September 28, but nothing
changed until now. That is why they are going on strike for demands included to
be completed lawful contract, to be legal workers at factory, to be arranged
ferry for transportation, to get social welfare card and others.
