"Myanmar LUXURY GROUP Garment Factory said that they did not solve workplace violations", 30 January 2024

...The Myanmar LUXURY GROUP factory...said that there is a violation of labor rights at work, and the workers say that they are having a hard time because there is no solution.

The...factory...is currently exporting women's clothing brands such as PROMOD and CALLIOPE with more than 600 workers...

The worker said...that they are forced to work overtime on Sundays, which are public holidays, until 12:00 p.m., and every worker chosen by the supervisors without asking the consent of the workers is forced to work without the right to refuse...

"...When they call for overtime, they don't have [transport arranged] when they return home... It's very difficult on the way home because there's no [transport], and because of the political situation, I'm worried on the way home at night," said the worker.

Out of more than 600 workers in the factory, more than 100 are day laborers...they only earn 5,800 kyats and do not receive any overtime pay or benefits. The worker said that although they have been working for more than 3 months to 1 year, they do not appoint permanent employees and they are firing people illegally.

As another violation, the workers were forced to [meet targets that are] much more than what they could sew, and the workers were forced to work with little time to drink water during work hours, he said.

"Employment contracts (EC) are signed after one year of employment. The contracts are made to be signed by the employer and everything is taken. No one dares to ask about labor rights," said the worker.

If the workers have to work overtime, call them only after the consent of the workers. Not to call until 12 o'clock at night. Always employ day laborers. To recalculate the overtime fees with debit;...To take action against officials and super[visor]s who shout and speak. It is said that they would like to request things such as the signing of employment contracts on a certain date and the provision of EC books to workers.
