Big Win for Nepal's Security Workers!🛡️
After two years of dedicated organizing, the All-Nepal Security Workers Union (ANSWU) has secured a landmark collective bargaining agreement with Garud Security Pvt. Ltd. — benefiting nearly 5,000 workers!
Key gains include:
- Minimum hourly wage of NPR 165.91 + dearness allowance
- Overtime at NPR 191.62/hour
- Appointment letters, seasonal uniforms, proper leave, and Dashain festival bonus
- Stronger job security, social security contributions, and a formal dispute resolution process
This agreement sets a powerful benchmark for the entire security sector in Nepal and shows what workers can achieve when they stand united.
Congratulations to all the brave security guards and the ANSWU team! ✊
