About
1500 workers from Shin Soung garment factory from Bago Town demonstrated to get
raised of minimum wages, to solve cut wages and to get health cares.
Ko Aung
Myo Win from Bago Township said “they started from 12 am without going to work,
mainly focused on rising of minimum wages and to hire back a Korean manager who
were being laid off recently by two Burmese managers as well as being cut their
wages for medical aid but there is no health cares, that is why they are not
scarified for that”.
“Although the employer said all the workers to
rise up amount of salary after 3 months of working, they didn’t get any
responds from employer. Therefore, when they requested to manager, they got
little amount of salary 1500 kyat for each. Now they are being anger about that
breaking promise from employer”.
“Some workers and employer negotiated with
some officers included U Aung Kyaw Oo, in charge of legal from Bago Workers’
office to get a clear solution and the last results will be speak out to all
the workers”, said a demonstrator.
If they
didn’t get their demands from employer, all of them will not be working and
quit from the Garment factory that is owned by a Korean.
