On Friday morning, about 2,000 workers at On Accessories Co., Ltd. in Tan Huong Industrial Park in southern Tien Giang Province went on strike, requesting the company’s management explain why there were maggots in their meal last week. Many striking workers told concerned agencies said that after finding the maggots in the chicken meat in their meal, they immediately informed the problem to the company’s board of directors, who promised that they would resolve the incident soon. However, the company did not give any explanation about the incident. On August 14, many workers requested that the board of directors resolve the problem but their request was not met. As a result, angry workers went on strike on August 16, during which a quarrel broke out between a South Korean expert and a male worker, and the former grasped the latter in the neck and choked him. The assault led to a chaos in the company and police of Chau Thanh District and the province were called to the scene to calm down the angry workers and restore order. All the strking workers left the company at noon. Some of them provided media with clips of maggots found in their meal. Concerned agencies have worked with the company’s management to handle the case.
