The organization charged at the press conference that the authorities' moves to pass a "draft amendment to the law on trade unions" which calls for disallowing the payment of wages to the full- time trade union leaders, etc. are aimed at suppressing the workers' rights and holding in check the trade union activities, demanding the authorities immediately stop such action.

The organization warned that if the authorities enforce such anti-workers law defying their protest, it will call a general strike at once.
