Labor unions and associations have suspended their strike plan scheduled for March 12 following the request by garment workers, according to a union leader. The suspension came after the meeting between the union leaders from a coalition of 18 labor unions and associations today. … The unionists previously planned to hold the strike on March 12 to seek the release of the 21 detained protesters arrested in violent crackdowns, and to demand wage increase to $160 per month for garment and footwear workers.
