"SUNTIME JCK CO,LTD factory workers said that they want to solve the problems at work", 15 March 2024
The workers said that the SUNTIME JCK CO,LTD factory...[are] facing difficulties in the workplace, so they want to find a solution.
In the workplace, not all workers are allowed to enjoy the leave they are entitled to, and they are facing discrimination, and because some workers are not allowed to take leave, they are [facing [cuts] off their daily wages...the worker said.
"...If they miss a day, they will be charged 5,600 per day and 9,000 per day. I feel hurt because of this discrimination. If the worker [does not come] to the workplace because he is sick or because of a family issue, the money is deducted according to the time spent," said the unnamed worker...
...the [employer is] asking for [higher targets] than the workers can [meet]...
"...some super[visors] are rude and pressurize the worker. Each line has to sew 450 jackets a day, so there is no time to relax when drinking water..." said the worker.
He said that there is a problem with drinking water in the workplace, and the temperature rises to the point where you can't drink it during the hot afternoon sun, and he wants to make it convenient.
The worker said that there is no labor union,...in the workplace where around 1,000 workers are working, but a workplace coordination committee has been formed, and this committee is useless because it only [works according to] the employer's instructions without solving the current difficulties in the workplace.
The factory is [manufacturing jackets for]...ENGELBERT STRAUSS...
