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.
