"15 clerks from Tha Shu garment factory are selected to be inspected", 25 May 2024
It is said that officials from Township Labor Department would come to inspect our factory on May 25, 2024. The factory didn’t inform all the workers but selected 15 clerk and 3 veteran workers...to be inspected.
I heard the inspection is due to the reports from Myanmar Labour News. The factory [only] resolve[d] the...dining space [issues]...
The production manager called the clerks...and [told] them to [tell] the inspectors that the issues mentioned in the news are not correct. We heard from the workers that they [were] taught them to [say] that we are only asked [to meet] 25 fabric per hour, we are allowed to take water bottle, they provide purified water and they don’t shut the doors.
They assigned the clerks to pretend [to be] helpers, seamstresses and workers from other departments...
