If the [target] in the workplace is not met…the super[visors] [threaten] to fire me. It is reported that the factory workers complained to the Federation of Myanmar General Trade Unions FGWM that the manager, Daw Ayethita Sansothu, yelled at the employees…and announced that if the [targets] were not met according to the skill level of the workers, they would be fired.
