The ILAW Network expresses its deep concern over the arrest of nearly 30 workers, including members of @FishermensUnion, who engaged in peaceful industrial action to improve their wages and working conditions. All must be released and their labour rights fully respected. @governmentmv@ilo@ituc@itucasiapacific
1️⃣ day after #HumanRightsDay, members of
@FishermensUnion & @TEAMmaldives

Team GS, @MateyZakir participated in a 3 days international congress on labour digitization and social justice, held in Türkiye. The event brought together trade union leaders from around the world. He was also honored to speak a panel on S.justice and income distribution.
Workers of Royal Island Resort are deeply concerned as they have not paid their service charges for the past two months, which is clear violation of laws. We call Villa Group to fulfill their obligations by promptly paying all pending service charges without any delays @MoHEmv
"I rarely get a day off, and when I do, it’s usually just a night off. I have been working beyond official hours every single day for countless months now. But for all those extra hours, they refuse to pay me overtime!
Because of this relentless overwork, my entire back is in constant pain—I can’t get through the day without taking painkillers now. I’m barely in my 30s, yet I feel completely ruined."
— A healthcare worker from Malé City Group of Hospitals

"We have only three nurses here—including two foreign nurses. After an 8-hour shift, we’re on on-call for the remaining 16 hours. Since there’s no staff in the Public Health section, I’m taking on that workload too.
I work endless extra hours beyond my official shift, yet they refuse to pay me for overtime. How am I supposed to keep going like this forever?" – A nurse working on a northern island of the Maldives

I submitted a letter to the @presidencymv on the 28th of last month, followed by three more, yet there has been no response If the President’s Office fails to provide that , what hope do we have left for true justice?
@MMuizzu
A historic day for labor movement of the Maldives! The first unions have been officially registered today under the IR Act, This achievement strengthens the voice of tourism workers collectively & paves the way for future of fair labor rights and just society. Congratulations ✊
