For Rangoon Strikers, No End in Sight


17 February 2012
RANGOON — Even though she works at least 50 hours a week, she can

I can no longer survive on that meager wage,” said Ma Chaw, 26, right in front 
of the Tai Yi slipper factory in western Rangoon's Hlaing Tharyar Township 
where she has worked for the past eight years.
