"KAIXI MYANMAR FASHION CO,LTD workers said that they want to be responsible if the factory is closed", 16 January 2024

At the KAIXI MYANMAR FASHION CO.,LTD garment factory...workers said that they would like [the factory] to inform the workers openly if the factory [will close] because the employer is transporting and selling the equipment in the factory.

At that factory, there are workers who have left their jobs because they have not [been] called [for] OT for more than 1 year due to low orders, and currently...so they want the employer to take responsibility if the factory is closed.

"Before there were more than 1,000 workers, [but because] they did not call OT for more than 1 year...the workers who were not comfortable left, now there are only 600 left. In place of the workers who left, they removed the machines one by one...and sold them..." said the worker...

In addition, workers who are not entitled to the benefits of the law in the workplace are not entitled to benefits because if they miss a day of work, 4,800 kyats of holiday pay and 10,000 kyats of daily wages will be cut for a total of 14,800 kyats, the worker said.

"If the factory closes, we want to [receive damages that we deserve according to the law...," said the worker...

The Myanmar Labor Law stipulates that if factories are closed for various reasons, employers must pay the workers the remaining wages and damages based on the amount of [years] they have worked.
