Insurance Company Workers on Strike Over Pay Pact

K.L. — About 170 workers of the American International Assurance (AIA) offices throughout the country went on strike in a dispute over their collective agreement. The workers are members of the National Union of Commercial Workers (NUCW). The Union's general secretary said the union had 14 meetings with the management, three at the Ministry of Labour and Manpower. "At all the meetings, the company did not try to reach a compromise in any way," he said.
