Sri Lanka: Tea plantation workers achieve daily pay rise following direct action
The fight for higher wages by the plantation workers has been ongoing for months and gathered steam in recent weeks. The workers went on strike, demanding a hike while stating that the plantation companies are earning massive profits but have taken no steps to increase their earnings.
The announcement of the daily wage increase was made by the Sri Lankan President Wickremesinghe on 1 May (International Workers' Day) despite opposition from companies and the Planters’ Association.
