The 251 Bangladeshi workers who were denied pay for seven months by Kawaguchi Manufacturing are preparing to sue two Japanese companies in Washington DC. Led by activist Andy Hall, they seek damages, compensation, and an apology for exploitation and mistreatment.
Andy Hall says many of them have had to take on new jobs but were not able to negotiate the terms of their employment.
The workers are also hoping to secure a job so they can repay their debts.
Daikin Industries Ltd gives US$12,000 to help 251 purchase food and aid items.
An agreement has been reached after a five-hour mediation at the labour office between the employer and a group of foreign workers.
Fifty-seven say they are worried Kawaguchi Manufacturing Sdn Bhd’s three major clients might cut ties with them over forced labour allegations.
However, Klang-based Kawaguchi Manufacturing Sdn Bhd has assured its workers that the delay will be resolved by the end of the year.
