Abstract

About 350 workers struck work at the State-owned Pacific Fishing Company (PAFCO), on the island of Levuka on 4 August 2003. The strike was to demand improved wages and working conditions. The workers, mainly indigenous women, were amongst the lowest paid in Fiji, earning about US$42 per week, wages well below poverty line.
