Nepal - Police charge on striking workers from Nepal Pharmaceutical Labs (2012)

On 28 April, Nepal Pharmaceutical Labs management called in the police, who charged against striking workers with brutal force. More than 20 workers were injured, including ten trade unionists. The strike had been called by the Nepal Independent Chemical and Iron Workers’ Union (NICIWU), affiliated to the General Federation of Nepalese Trade Unions (GEFONT). The union ultimately managed to negotiate an agreement with the management.
