Marks & Spencer response on minimum wage in Myanmar

We are part of the BSR Myanmar working group and as such support the letter sent to the Minister for Labour Employment and Social Security and Chair of National Committee on the Minimum Wage from the group calling on the Government to enact a minimum wage level that is uniform across all industries. 

In addition as a member of the tri-partite stakeholder organisation the ETI, we have also signed a similar letter to the same Minister for Labour Employment and Social Security and Chair of National Committee on the Minimum Wage to support the government-set uniform minimum wage level. This letter will be sent this week.

Part of the following timelines

Myanmar govt. proposes daily minimum wage of 3,600 kyats; factories call for lower pay, unions & workers protest - includes statements by intl. brands
