"Day laborers have to work for 3,600 kyats a day. HEN BO Myanmar garment workers say that if they take leave, they will be fired and their rights will be lost" 06 June 2023
At the HEN BO Myanmar Garment Factory, which opened with more than 600 workers in Hlaing Thayar Township Industrial Zone 1, Yangon Region, day laborers only receive 3,600 kyats per day, and there is no holiday pay on weekends.

A worker said that he started work at 7:30 a.m. and did not leave until 7:00 p.m. every Monday to Friday. Due to the need, he called a shift from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and a split shift from 7:00 p.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Workers who have to spend the night at the factory are not provided with accommodation, so they have to sleep in a place that is convenient for them, and they are sent back by ferry at 5:00 am and have to go back to work at 7:30 am. "There are not enough cars to ride the ferry, so I'm having a lot of trouble," said the worker...
