The working hours are from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., including 2 hours overtime, and more than 100 day laborers are paid only 5,800 kyats for 10 hours of work, and even though they have to work until 6:30 p.m. on Saturdays, they only receive 5,800 kyats.

"Among the day laborers, there are children...They do not have the right to enjoy the benefits of the law. Their work experience ranges from 3 months to more than 1 year. They are not appointed as permanent employees and do not receive any benefits. If they want to be fired, they are fired without paying any compensation. This is illegal," said the worker.

"...They said that the clothing bonus will be paid once a week, but they are paid only once every 2 weeks. The workers are not entitled to social security benefits...The things that are provided are also not provided enough, for example fire extinguishers are not provided according to the specifications, only the workers are worried." The worker said.

The workers said that they would like to ask the officials to approve the appointment of day laborers in order to calculate the overtime pay in accordance with the law.
