"E&P Fashion Garment Factory Worker forced to oversize fabric", 11 February 2024
At the E&P Fashion Garment Factory...[the] workers say that they are being forced to [meet] excessive [targets]...and that they are losing their labor rights.
The factory...employs more than 100 workers...The workers say that they are having a hard time because they have to sew lace shirts, and there are more than 30 workers per machine line, and they are asking for more than 100 pieces of fabric per hour.
"...if they...don't sew to meet the standards...the super[visors] always yell at them," said the worker.
Day laborers are also employed in the workplace, and they are forced to work...without [the factory informing them of the shift], and if they [can't] work, they are fired...
"The workers are not entitled to the casual leave and seniority benefits. Sometimes, if they are sick...if they miss a day, they will be deducted 5,800 kyats from the daily allowance of 20,000 kyats. Even though social security benefits are included, they do not receive medical leave. The factory does not provide them with medical allowances, so it is aggravating that the daily allowances are cut," the worker said.
The workers said that they would like to resolve issues such as the approval of employees who have been employed for more than 3 months, to request [targets] that workers can [meet and for] the workplace to provide them with the benefits of the law.
