British union leaders have called for a tourism boycott of Burma because of the country’s record on human rights and employment of children.
The TUC said tourism was generating significant revenue which was helping to sustain the “brutal” military regime in Burma.
TUC general secretary Brendan Barber said: “Trade unions have been at the forefront of campaigns for longer holidays, but Burmese unions have asked us not to take those holidays in Burma.
