"A letter from a worker at Dishang Kenny Garment", 22 April 2024
Dishang Kenny Garment Garment Factory is a Dishang Group factory located on King Maha Min Khao Road, Shwe Sam Lwin Industrial Zone, Luinthayar Township, Yangon City.
The factory...has more than 600 workers, sewing [for] K Way & TIGORA & RESERVED labels.
The starting time for work is 7:30 in the morning, but [they are] forced to work from 7:15.
The workers were forced to stay at night from 9:00 to 11:00.
I...work until 5 pm on Saturday...
If the [supervisors] ask for a [target] and [the workers don't meet it], they are cursed and yelled at...
The heat inside the factory is also bad. [The] Air con & water heater are not good...They don't look at the health of the workers.
