Thailand: 700 subcontracted migrant workers from Myanmar protest three months' wage theft at Chinese-owned factory; incl. co. response

In August 2024, 700 migrant workers from Myanmar took strike action and protested against months of wage theft at Rojana Industrial Park. The workers were employed by 11 subcontractors to build a three-storey electronics manufacturing plant for an unnamed Chinese factory. Investment for the project comes from Thai company iFound PCP (owned by Founder PCB), reportedly funded by the Chinese government.

The delay in payment was initially investigated by the Ministry of Labour, with delays to wages beginning in June owing to slow international money transfers from a parent company in China. Workers had been provided with temporary financial relief, while the company had said it would pay missing wages the week after the protest. One worker leader from Myanmar said he believed the factory had already paid the subcontractors but had not passed the money onto the workers themselves.

The Resource Centre invited Rojana Industrial Estate, Founder PCB and its parent company Huafa Group to respond to the allegations, including inviting Rojana Industrial Estate to outline its relationship with the factory, and to disclose any human rights due diligence it undertakes on businesses operating in its industrial parks. Founder PCB said the company has consistently complied with all laws, regulations, and ethical standards, fulfilled its contractual duties without violations, and encourages partners to do the same. Rojana Industrial Estate did not respond. The Resource Centre could not verify the identity of the Chinese factory to invite it to respond.
