Myanmar: Workers at Myanmar Jiale Fashion garment factory report labour rights violations incl. forced overtime, increased targets, & suppression of unions; incl. co. response

In April 2022, it was reported that workers at Myanmar Jiale Fashion garment factory were being forced to work overtime on Sunday without overtime pay due to an increase in production targets that workers say exceed what they are capable of meeting. Workers also reported that the factory had been working with the military to crack down on unions and arrest union leaders.

Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited H&M and Inditex to respond. The full responses can be found below.
