Military junta breaks strike at clothing factory in Myanmar
In early June, seven workers at the Hosheng (Myanmar) Garment factory in Yangon were dismissed for demanding an hourly wage increase from US$1.68 to US$1.96.
Around 600 workers at the factory, which produces for Spanish fashion brand Zara, went on strike, which was halted as the employer brought in the military to threaten the workforce.
