Powerloom Workers in Tirupur Await Agreed Wage Hike Implementation
Imagine workers in factories that make cloth not getting the pay raise they were promised.
The workers and factory owners agreed to give these workers more money.
Even though the agreement was made, many of the workers haven't received their new wages.
Some workers in one area got the raise, but others in different areas are still waiting.
The workers' group is talking to the government and may protest if they don't get the pay raise soon.

An agreement for a 10% wage increase was signed on April 20.
