Myanmar: Day labourers at garment factory denied permanent employment status

См. все теги Обвинения

"In the workplace, workers were loaned in 20 increments and their salaries were cut. Day laborers lose their holiday benefits", 11 January 2024

At the...Mirae or New Way Garment Factory...the day laborers' rights were violated.

"Now, the workers who are not satisfied borrow money, and [the loan] is deducted from the salary...It gets worse month by month, and no action is taken against the manager," said the dissatisfied worker.

The worker said that it is difficult for them to recover the borrowed money because they sometimes take the worker's salary out of their pocket.

In addition, more than 100 of the more than 400 workers in the workplace are day laborers, and although they have been working for 3 to 7 months, they are working at the rate of 5,200 per day, and do not receive holiday pay on the days they do not work because they are not entitled to a holiday...

The workers said that they want to solve the problems of the lack of medical facilities, damaged water houses, and the lack of safety measures in the workplace. In order to take action against the illegal money raising business in the workplace, the workers said that they would like to request that the day laborers [wages] be recalculated [to include] the daily overtime and weekend allowances that have been deducted [and for] the day laborers to be appointed as permanent employees after the completion of 3 months.

It is reported that the factory is sewing ziben brand Korean clothes and exporting them to Korea.
