“Working conditions at Myanmar Unique Garment Factory during the third wave of COVID-19 epidemic” 16 July 2021
…The factory name is Myanmar Unique. [COVID-19] prevention is weak on the part of the factory…In the past, people [ate] meals [separately]. Now it is no longer divided. You have to fingerprint at the factory. I do not have hand sanitizer…[or masks]…Hand sanitizers can not be used. The ferries are full of people. There are about 60 sick people in the factory. There are five people who have lost their sense of smell. There are no workers' rights now. The union formed is not recognized. Previously, the number of workers was over 900. About 100 workers lost their jobs due to shortage of raw materials. The remaining 800 workers did not return to work regularly due to political instability and fear of [COVID-19]. In fact, there are only about 300 regular staff. Employers are also taking advantage of political instability and violating their rights. There is no inspection now. The factory does not care. I want this situation to be monitored as soon as possible.
