W&F Group Co...has been open for about 6 months. It was opened on 7-3-2023...I was asked to work for 8 and a half hours every day. The Burmese manager is not given any authority, and is directly managed by the Chinese factory manager (who speaks Burmese). Even among the employees, he discriminates between the employees he calls and the employees directly appointed by the factory. They also have to work on Sundays and summer holidays. If you ask for a gate pass because you are sick, it will not be given. The workers are being treated rudely by the manager every day. I am currently working on ZARA. Since the workers in the workplace have complained, we hope that the relevant parties can quickly check and if the owner is found, we can prepare the requirements.
