Netizens React To Reports Of Fan Milk Sacking Workers

BongoIdeas was not too pleased with the development as he said:

These are some of the critical labour issues that need to be dealt with tbvh. Workers are been shortchanged whiles they break their backs to build these companies. I think they should forward their concerns to Labour Commission, Employment Ministry etc for redress ASAP.
