Yellowfin Tuna Fishermen Union Declares Industrial Action Over Unmet Government Promises

The Yellowfin Tuna Fishermen's Union has announced an industrial action following the government's failure to fulfill promises made during the Manifesto Festival. The union has called for a strike on the 10th of December, citing the government's lack of action on critical issues affecting fishermen. The union has highlighted several unaddressed demands, including increasing the base rate for fishermen to MVR 80-100 per kilogram, improving access to ice, and setting up a more efficient system for fishermen's welfare. The union claims that despite repeated appeals, the government has not taken any concrete steps to resolve these issues. The industrial action is expected to see a large number of fishermen participating, as they seek to draw attention to their plight and push for immediate solutions.
