In Bayinnaung of Yangon, especially rice and oil business brokerage, this year, the number of freight workers is reduced, and only if necessary, outsider workers are recruited for freight handling, a person working at the Seinpan Street Rice brokerage told to the GNLM.
Although these processes happen in the rice and oil brokerages, similar events can be seen rarely at onion and potato brokerages. If there are around 100,000 visses of onions arriving at the brokerages on the opening days, it will be around 4,000 bags. The potatoes and onions freight workers are paid twice a day for loading and unloading the bags.
There is no reduction in the workforce in potato and onion brokerages. On busy days, each freight worker gets around K 20,000 of labour charge. In order to keep up with the increasing rate of daily wages in the brokerage that not doing well, it is seen that the brokerage’s workforce is being reduced and odd-job workers are recruited for work. — TWA/KZW
