“Employer at Mirae or New Way Garment Factory; There are dismissals in violation of labor agreements”, 14 July 2021

…According to the workers, there are dismissals in violation of labor agreements…

A union leader who has been unable to return to work due to security concerns…will be fired in July. The workers agreed to accept…leave without pay, but it was not accepted. Another leader, who was unable to enter the workplace due to security concerns, asked for a month's unpaid leave, but was turned down, according to workers.

On June 19, factory officials told the employer, a meeting was held with the Workers' Cooperation Committee (WCC) and at that meeting, the union members [were told] that the factory union was no longer recognized and could not be given on-duty leave, according to union members.

Workers are suffering because of the lack of legal benefits.

In this case, the fired leader was relocated to his original position… The workers want the employer to abide by the agreement and provide unpaid leave to those who are unable to work due to security concerns.
