In the workplace…leave entitlements such as leave and working holidays are not granted. The factory workers said that the supervisors used abusive language against the workers in the workplace and had conversations to embarrass the employees.
The workers said that the SYSMM Apparel Manufacturing factory, which was opened at Shwe Pytha Industrial Zone 4, Papa Khao Maung Khat Road, Yangon Region, is committing such violations of labor rights.
In addition, it is said that workers are being forced to work overtime without their consent on Sundays, which are public holidays.
