"LUCKY FORTUNE GARMENT workers demand that workplace violations be resolved", 13 May 2024

In...LUCKY FORTUNE GARMENT...The workers have demanded [issues] to be resolved because there are workplace violations such as being forced to work overtime on Sundays without the consent of the workers and asking for excessive [targets].

The...factory...employs more than 1,000 workers and produces FieldCore brand shirts...

"...The worst thing is Line 1 Super[visor]. He is rude to the workers. Many people quit their jobs because of him," said the worker.

Working hours are set from 8:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., and there are cases where they are forced to work overtime on weekends.

At present, the worker said that there is discrimination because [not] all workers are entitled to equal benefits, but only those close to their supervisors.

"For example, if a worker takes casual leave or medical leave, only workers who are comfortable with [the] super[visor] [get leave]...If they miss a day of work, they will be cut 5,800 daily allowance and 20,000 regular day allowance," he said.

In the workplace, young workers who have not yet reached the age of majority are being forced to be equal to adult workers, and if they do not meet the [target], they are forced to pressure them, he said.

"If the employer wants to fire a worker, they accuse him of theft and ask the army to arrest him...the person who stole the material is not arrested but the innocent worker is arrested," said the worker, who did not want to be named.

In addition, if there is an accident in the workplace, it is difficult because the worker has to take care of himself without [the factory] taking responsibility, he said.

"When the inspection comes, the supervisors teach the non-responsive worker in advance and ask them to give good answers. If they don't answer as they ask, they fire them. They do things that are malicious, so they have to answer as they ask," the worker said...
