"Workers at the Handa Garment Factory are having their labor rights violated", 25 February 2024

...Workers reported that workers' rights are being violated at the Handa Garment Factory...

The factory sews (BURTLE) brand shirts...with around 3,000 workers...

Although the WCC has been formed, the workers' workplace problem [continue]...

"...They only called overtime until 8:00 p.m., asking for [targets] that the workers could not [meet]. The workers who did not meet the [target] were given overtime on Sundays without overtime [pay], and the workers who did not work overtime were often humiliated in front of the public...

The worker said that...when [someone] came for [an] inspection, the pregnant women were often hidden.

...the drinking water is dusty/smelly and not clean...since the toilet water is no longer provided, the workers are saying that the factory knows that the toilet is dirty and unclean in the evening with odors and does not do anything about it.

...the factory side is asking the workers to meet [targets] that cannot be met, and they even have to limit the time to go to the toilet/drinking water.

It is said that [supervisor] is...yelling at the workers and forcing them to pressurize them even more.

"The supervisors threaten...force them to work without overtime without paying overtime..." the workers confided.

At present, they are working overtime on the day of Thingyan holiday, and they are calling for overtime even on Saturday (6:00)...
