The Fu Yuen garment factory on the outskirts of Yangon has agreed to re-hire 30 sacked workers following high-profile protests by employees.  An intervention by Yangon Region chief minister U Phyo Min Thein supported the case for the previously sacked workers. The management and striking workers sacked in August are to sign an agreement on Wednesday pledging to rehire the workers. According to a Myanmar Times article, the protesters were accused of “disturbing production and violating company rules”.  Their dismissal led to several hundred workers holding protests the following day. The following crackdown injured dozens of protesters. On October 29, the march with estimated 100 workers began from Mahabandoola Park in downtown Yangon to the Yangon Hluttaw. As a result of the protest, Phyo Min Thein agreed to mediate between the two parties.
