Garment workers in Myanmar & Cambodia allege factories are using COVID-19 as pretext to dismiss unionised workforce

"Union Garment Workers Fear 'an Opportunity to Get Rid of Us'", 8 May 2020

Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, it has seen a decrease in orders from international retailers. That was why it let go almost half of its 1,274 workers in late March, the factory’s managing director said... Three fired sewing operators, however, said the factory was taking an opportunity to punish workers engaged in union activity...
