Anton Marcus with the Free Trade Zone Apparel Union said the tea time picket
took place at 4.00 pm and lasted for one hour.
“Similar protests will be carried out on a regular basis to take the workers
message home until the government comes up with the promised pay hike”, he
said.
The government failed to comply with the pre-election pledge of a Rs. 2,500 pay
increase and therefore trade union protests of this nature will continue in the
future to force the authorities to reverse this thinking, Mr. Marcus further
added.
