"30,000 kyat subsidy cut for workers whose clothing cost is less than 100,000 kyats", 5 March 2024
Hsu Latt Phyu
At [a factory supplying] Japanese brand CINEMA CLUB...the workers say that they are being forced to [meet high targets or they won't receive] the 30,000 kyat subsidy set by the government.
It is said that this is being done at the...Hanboom (Myanmar) Co., Ltd. garment factory...
There are more than 3,000 workers in the workplace, and there is no labor union...and no workplace coordination committee has been formed.
The worker said that working hours in the workplace are set from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and if there is overtime, they have to work until 6:40 p.m.
The wage rate being paid is 4,800 kyats per day, with a 30,000 kyats allowance (per month)...
"Employers forcefully ask for [targets] that the workers can't meet...The [target] varies from day to day...if they don't [meet the target], the super[visors] yell at them and...swear...," the worker said.
In the current workplace, only 30,000 kyats of subsidy is added to the set garment fee of more than 100,000 kyats, so most of the workers do not receive the 30,000 kyats subsidy, but they only get 4,800 kyats per day...
He said that if workers...take leave, their daily wages will be cut.
"The workers are forced to work overtime on Sundays because the [targets] are not [met]. They are forced to work overtime on Sundays for free. There is no right to refuse...[Even if] there is no fault found...the workers are fired..." said the worker.
