Dear Friends,
Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) sends our solidarity with strike workers of Tai Yi shoe factory of Burma who are peacefully demanding to have fare pay, better employee rights and better working condition. Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) members are with the strike workers of Tai Yi of Burma.
We are very sad to learn that the workers from Chinese Owned Tai Yi shoe factory which is located in Hlaing Thar Yar Industrial Zone in Rangoon, Burma are mostly rural women are just asking for 150 kyat (19 cents) per hour from 75 kyat (less that 10 US cents) an hour. The workers got to work at least 50 hours a week but they are struggling to survive day in and day out due to low wages since they only make around 60,000 kyat ($75) a month including overtime.
Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) would like to urge Burmese government, International Labour Organisation (ILO) and all the citizens of Burma to lend your support for the exploited strike workers of Tai Yi shoe factory of Burma.
Tai Yi shoe factory workers’ strike of Burma highlight the urgent need of the establishment of labour unions, flourishing labour rights and enforcing fair labour laws.
