Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Bakery workers have accused owners of gross exploitation and lack provision of safety gears to protect against harm during work. The Bakery Workers\u2019Trade Union of Central Equatoria State (CES)raised the concerns during the Union\u2019s General Assembly meeting attended by the state Minister of Labour yesterday.<\/p>\n

While addressing media yesterday,Deng Malual Athian, the chairperson of Bakery Workers\u2019 Union, said, \u201cThere is serious exploitation of workers by foreigners who owned Bakeries in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Athian said there were about 700 workers workingin 113 foreign bakeries with less pay and long hours of work meanwhile others lack protective gears, exposing them toa lots of harms.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur work always starts at night and ends in the morning or sometime starts in the morning and ends in the evening, sometime people even work all days in the week,our work is a very hard work that exposed people to a lot of dangers but many workers are less paid,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He revealed that many of them contracted diseases and others became deformed while at work with no support from anybody either the union or owners of the bakeries rendering them vulnerable.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow if I tell you that many people became disable others are affect by tuberculosis(TB) which is the most common disease that is affecting many, others also became blind because of the fire,\u201d he lamented.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are searching for a way forward to treat these people but we lack finances.If I say now the bakery union is not standing with us, they usually tell us that we are casual workers to receive pay and go,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBakery workers everywhere in South Sudan are facing a lot of hardships and diseases that need to be treated and there is no one standing with them to support them\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He revealed that in Central Equatoria state 17 Bakery workerswere affected by TB and under treatment in various hospitals. \u201cThere are also other three we are yet to know diseases they have\u201d Deng added.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Malakal someone was pushed into fire and the whole of his face got burn and he is now blind and I called for compensation of that persons and up to now they have not call me\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

Tong Tong, one of the workers said that many bakery owners in the country do not provide protective gears to their workers or risk allowances. He also stated that many bakeries were paid less money to workers who worked throughout the night and sometime during the day. Daniel Deu Deng called on the government to intervene and protect its citizens from all forms of exploitation from foreign nationals.<\/p>\n
