"It's difficult because the professional fee is cut", 7 February 2024
In San Yuan Oversea (2) Myanmar factory, the workers said that they are having difficulty... due to the cut of the professional fees set in the workplace.
...It is reported that COTTON BELT brand jacket[s] [are] sewn [in the factory].
Currently, the basic wage payment rate for an assigned worker is 4,800 kyats. Allowance (1000 kyats) Daily fee (25,000 kyats), professional fee A+ (51,000 kyats) A (41,000 kyats) and B (28,000 kyats) fixed.
In the last January 2024 wage payment, workers who were supposed to receive A + 51,000 kyats were paid only 11,000 kyats, A level 10,000 kyats and the rest of the workers were paid only 7,500 kyats for professional fees...
The workers said that due to the cut in professional fees, the minimum wage per worker has been reduced [to] 10,000 kyats [from] 30,000 kyats...
"I want to complain. The Ministry of Labor offices, Labor offices, and Human Welfare offices came to ask me if there are any cuts or if they give welfare benefits. All [the workers] are afraid and [don't] dare [to] tell the truth...
Although there is no trade union in the workplace, the WCC has been formed, but there has been no response regarding the cutting of professional fees.
