…An employee of HONG MIAO Garment Co…was fired illegally.
On July 15th, 2023, he was forced to [work overtime] all night and [had to] work until 12:00 p.m. The worker who was fired had pain all over his body and was unable to work at all, so he rested at the designated rest area.
All super[visors] encouraged him to continue working, but [because] the worker [had] to work all night continuously [since 10 July],…he was too tired to continue working.
[Because] he didn't [work] until dawn…he was fired by the HR manager when he went [back] to work on Monday.
When asked why he was fired, he commented that he was fired because he found a water bottle with [betel nut] spit under the ironing board.
As a reason to fire a worker, [they are] just [using] the betel nut as an alibi.
Calling [for overtime] all night [is] against the law and forcing the workers to [work and] put unfair pressure on them is [Forced labour]. It does not meet the standards of the ILO.
I would like to inform the public about the fact that the factory…has not taken any effective action…
