Workers in Burma begin to organise again

After decades of military repression, workers in Burma are starting to test the limits of the new political climate in the country. Earlier this week, around 1,000 textile workers in Yangon staged a demonstration over pay and working conditions. This follows on from a wave of industrial unrest in the last few months.
