The strike is planned to be loud and colorful according to Cham Rong, the women’s representative. An Arbitration Council has reached a decision awarding the women double the amount of wages they receive on Sunday, raising the amount to $4, but the brewery has refused, and has threatened the women if they join a union according to Cham Rong.
