At present, workers have no signs of ending.

More than 2000 workers from Vietnam's SamilTongSang shoe factory went on strike. Rangad, vice president of trade union in Shun an County, Pingyang, Vietnam, said: "so far, no progress has been made between workers and companies and no agreement has been reached."

The trade union is mediating between the company and the workers who are on strike.

As of the 27 day, the strike went on to the seventh day, and the workers had not yet come to an end.

Police officers of Shun an County said they were involved in the strike.

Since last Thursday, jobs were left for peaceful protests, but tensions escalated when the company called on strike workers to threaten them.

The strikers did not agree on the amount of increase they asked for, which increased the difficulty of consultation, officials of the company said.

The Vietnamese state media "labor" reported that most workers demand monthly wage increase of 200 thousand Dong Dong (US $10).

A spokesman for the company's personnel department said the company had paid 1 million 320 thousand Dong Dong / month, 130 thousand higher than the minimum wage set by the government.

Negotiations between labor officials and companies continued on Wednesday.

According to the Ministry of labour, 96 autonomous strikes took place in Vietnam in the first quarter of this year, and 650 in 2008, most of which occurred in textile and clothing sectors, mainly foreign investment companies.
