"He said he wants to solve the illegal dismissal of day laborers", 28 February 2024
BOFEI GARMENT Co.,ltd factory workers said that due to the violation of labor rights at the workplace, day laborers were illegally fired from their jobs before [an] inspection [by a] brand...
The worker said that after [labour rights abuses were] mentioned in the news, the...inspection came.
Before the inspectors arrived, more than 40 day laborers were illegally dismissed from their jobs without prior notice, and those workers have completed 3 months of service, and they want justice to be done because they have grievances, according to workers working in the workplace.
The factory...is sewing [clothes for] the Page One Young brand with more than 400 workers. It is reported that there is no trade union that can be formed to resolve labor disputes within the workplace.
"In January, the factory's workplace violations were reported on social media. Because of that, before the brand inspections came, more than 40 day laborers were illegally fired without prior notification by the employer. When the inspections came, the workers were taught...to answer that everything was fine in the workplace. In fact, there were many violations. After the inspections, nothing changed. As before, even new day laborers were called in," the worker said.
The worker said that the drinking water in the workplace is not clean and...smells of rust...
He said that he had to work from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and that he had to work overtime without prior notice and without the right to refuse.
"If you refuse to work overtime, you will be discriminated against. If you don't work, you will be fired. Even though you pay social security every month, you don't have the right to benefits like social security medical leave. If you go to the social security clinic because you are sick, the factory won't give you permission. They don't give you casual leave. If you miss a day, you will be charged 5,600 kyats and a daily wage of 10,000 kyats," said the worker...
