The Banking, Insurance and General Workers Union (BIGWU) has vowed to fight on behalf of the 11,500 workers dismissed following the government's restructuring of the Community-Based Environmental Protection and Enhancement Programme (Cepep).

Over 300 contractors were fired by Cepep Company Ltd at the end of June, affecting thousands of workers who were given one month's pay after termination.

The government has claimed the restructuring would help provide more "sustainable employment" for workers.
