Since the violent crackdown in March of this year against anti government protestors, workers are continuing to feel the brunt of the repression. According to international trade union organisations, over 2,000 workers have been dismissed by employers for participating and/or supporting the protest movement earlier this year. This is part of a regional offensive against workers who stand up for the right to organise and the right to have a political voice. For a full report see the interview with Ebrahim H. Abdulla, Assistant General Secretary of the GFBTU
