In a long running dispute that started in July 2012 when around 2,000 women garment workers went on strike over wage issues, hundreds are still fighting for justice. Of the 1,300 workers that were fired following that strike, almost 350 of the workers are still fighting for jobs and compensation. They are organised by the local union that they founded in 2012, the SBGTS-GSBI. There is an international campaign to pressure the companies involved to pay compensation to the workers.
