"Myanmar Jiale Fashion Factory Workers Ordered to Return Deductions, But No Payments Have Been Received", 3 October 2024

The Department of Labor and Labor Law Inspection has ordered factory officials at Myanmar Jiale Fashion Co.,Ltd Factory No. 2, located at No. 44, Bhamo Secretary Road, Hlaing Tharyar Township, to return the deductions made to workers, but the payment has not been made to date.

The factory bonus of workers working at this factory has been deducted since March this year. The Department of Labor and Labor Law Inspection in Hlaing Tharyar West had ordered the bonus to be returned by September 6 on August 29. However, the factory has not yet paid it back as of October.

The Department of Labor and Labor Law Inspection visited the factory on September 13 to inspect the incident, but the factory has not yet taken responsibility.

The workers were instructed to hand over the documents by September 6, but they still haven’t received them, so they contacted the Department of Labor and Employment Law Inspection again, but they only responded by saying that they would not take any action against the employer and that they would only send a letter to the employer.

STUM believes that the Department of Labor and Employment Law Inspection in Hlaing Tharyar West Township is failing to take action against Myanmar Jiale Fashion2, a garment manufacturer that blatantly violated the department’s orders and instructions...

The...factory employs about 500 workers and produces two brands, DUB and SHISKY.
