The superintendent of Myanmar Qi Yuan Garment Factory 2 Finishing Department called [for workers to work] overtime until 12 midnight without asking [for] the workers' [consent], [and]...forced them to [work] the next day...without giving them a break, the workers said.
"One of the women in the department [was] not feeling well [and she wanted] to go to the hospital....[The] Super[visor] said, "...If you can't [work overtime], quit your job." She had to leave work when she was sick." He said.
The workers' willingness to work overtime is important, but the workers said they were forced to leave because of threats from [the Super[visor]...
Workers told Myanmar Labor News that Myanmar Qi Yuan Garment Factory has two branches, and the factory on Thanchewan U Nyunt Road is factory number 2 and employs nearly 500 workers.
