V.No. After the political change of 2046, the workers of Hetaunda Garment Factory had the opportunity to put their demands easily. But in order to strike with such a demand, the law stipulated that at least 60 percent of the workers must agree.

Especially since the year 2036, the complaint of the workers was that they did not get service facilities. The workers raised the problem of not getting the insurance amount.

The laborer's employment period of 20 years had to get insurance amount from 50 thousand to 120 thousand. But the insurance amount from 2036 to 2047 was spent for factory operation.

After the political change, the workers' complaint was that even though they made an agreement to get the insurance amount through struggle in 2047, it was not implemented. At that time, an agreement was made with the government to get insurance facilities for the past period as well. The management side said that the garment industry will have to spend a large amount of money to meet the demands of the workers. 

In such a situation, the government side said that the factory itself would have to be closed. The workers accused the ruling party of partisanship in the industry.

There was a Congress government in the country. The management side said that since the problem of listening and solving the problems of the workers was not prioritized during the Panchayat period, the earlier problems have also been integrated after democracy.

The workers of the ruling party asked to find a solution through negotiations, while other parties, including the UML, were of the opinion that close labor organizations should pressurize through a strike.  The process of voting was adopted after the voice that there should be a strike, not

talks. The Labor Act, 2048 provided for strike voting. Based on that act, 950 factory workers voted on whether to strike or not. It was probably the first time in Nepal that the decision to strike was made by voting.

Election Commission was formed under the coordination of General Manager of Industry Yadav Prasad Sharma with the participation of labor representatives. In order to ensure that the factory is not closed occasionally, the sentiments of the majority of the workers are contained, and the situation is to adopt a legal way when presenting the demand, it was arranged that the strike can be conducted only through voting.

Section 76 of the Labor Act states that if your demands cannot be met through negotiations, you can go on strike and you must inform the management 30 days in advance. 

Provision was made to vote for such a strike. In the poll, 70 percent supported the strike. Based on the same vote, the workers gave a notice to the management with a 30-day deadline warning to strike if the demand is not met .
