"Newell Garment Factory Pressuring Workers to Quit Without Signing EC Agreement", 24 September 2024

I would like to complain about the pressure being put on workers to quit at the Newell (Myanmar) Co.Ltd Garment Factory located on Pyidaw Thar Road, Hmawbi Township, Yangon Region...

The factory has only been open for about seven months...

The HR manager is now pressuring workers to quit...

The factory has 26 workers, including a foreign Chinese woman, in the QC department...

Last month, a worker who had submitted a resignation letter was told that if he did not work again next week, he would not be paid for the work he had done. If the worker did not work again, he had to write a handwritten letter and have his fingerprints taken, so the factory did not pay him.

The factory does not sign an EC contract with the workers. In addition, the factory violates workers’ rights by not informing them of the rules and regulations and criminal penalties. I will report any violations to the relevant labor offices. Please help...
