More than 1,000 workers at a company in Quang Nam went on strike on Septemter 17


According to the workers at Panko Tam Thang Company, they found maggots in their food while having lunch at the company. This is the second time in a week that they were given spoilt food. They had reported similar problems to the company many times.

However, the company only issued an apology while the problem hasn't been dealt with.

"We have to protect our health. We were already very tired after work. If food hygiene and safety aren't ensured, how can we work for long?" a worker said.

The spoilt food was found at the cafeteria where 3,000 workers of Panko Tam Thang textile garment plant have lunch.

The representatives from the Quang Nam General Confederation of Labour and Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs have arrived at the scene to investigate the case. The leaders of Panko Tam Thang refused to comment.
