"E&P Fashion Garment Factory is asking for too many fabric standards", 15 January 2024
The E&P Fashion Garment Factory...is asking for excessive [targets], and the workers say that the standards of each line are different and discrimination is being done.
In the workplace, the workers say that they are having a hard time because the supervisors...yell and threaten them every day if they do not [meet the excessive targets]...
"There are times when you are ill at work and there are urgent family matters. In such a situation, if you ask for a gate [pass], they will not give it to you. At that time, I called the labor office and asked for help. The official from Al Nay (Directorate of Labor and Workshop and Labor Law Inspection Department) said that this is a business, so they cannot interfere, and it is not possible to tell the employer because it is not in the law.
"On pay day, they say that the order is important and [give workers their wages] at 7 o'clock at night. For the workers who have to go back on those days, it is very dangerous to go back.." the worker continued.
He said that in the establishment of the WCC in the workplace, the workers did not have the right to choose, and only the heads of the HR department were selected and formed...
The...factory employs more than 200 workers and sews Sinsay brand shirts.
