Before I offer my perspective, it is important to first clarify where responsibility lies. The factory owners themselves are entirely responsible for the situation they now call harmful to the industry.

The development comes despite opposition from businesses, as they think allowing trade unions with such a low number of workers may affect stability

The government is planning to relax key labour law requirements, significantly lowering the entry barrier for a trade union in any establishment.

Latest amendment does not do enough to conform to international labour standards
