“The super[visor] sacked for demanding a reduction in fabric standards far beyond what the workers could sew”, 5 February 2023

…In a workplace where foreign brands such as DUNNES STORES [and Pep&Co] sew, the [target] that workers can [meet] is 100…per hour, while the factory's demand is 230…per hour. So, if you can't sew to meet such an exponentially increased record, you have to sew until 9pm without overtime.

In order to achieve the desired [target]…they have to start sewing before 8:30 a.m…eat a quick lunch [for] 30 minutes…and sew until 9 p.m. They have to sew for an average of 13 hours a day.
