One of the protesting workers said: "Fall is coming and the schools are reopening; we are unable to provide clothes, school supplies or even pay the tuition in order to register our children [in school]. Many of the workers haven't the money to pay their rent, water, electricity and other overheads; they are crushed under the financial pressure that is destroying their families, leading to separation or divorce even."

The protestors warned that if their simple demands were not met by Wednesday, September 7th, they and all their families would gather and indefinitely sit in front of the Governor's office.
