Strike Enters Fifth Day, Spreads to Other Factories


10  February 2012
After a full week without reaching a resolution, a strike that began on 
Monday at a shoe factory in an industrial estate in eastern Rangoon
has spread to two other factories, according to labor activists.

The strike started earlier this week after 1,800 workers at the
Chinese-owned Tai Yi Slipper factory in Hlaing Tharyar Industrial Zone (3) 
demanded payment of wages for an unofficial holiday to mark the
Chinese New Year in late January.
