Workers stage rally after closure of factory
Bangkok Post, Thailand
More than 200 workers of the Inter Buda garment factory in Pathum Thani yesterday staged a rally in front of the plant after the employer shut down the factory without prior notice.
Anant Ngern-tapaeng, who led the protest, said workers were told that no more export orders would come in for some time. ”However, we did not know before that the factory had financial problems,” he said.
According to Mr Anant, managers removed some machinery from the factory compound on Saturday night.
The closure will affect more than 300 factory workers, he said.
