See all tags Allegations

“Labor letter”, 11 August 2022

… [ was a] Tianjin fashion milestone [worker]…there is no answer as to why they fired me.

The manager said that if the seniors take a second leave due to some issue, they won't give it…

There is no water in the toilet. When I told the WCC that there was no water, they said that they had submitted it to the office. In reality, it didn't really happen. It's very hot at work, and they didn't fix the broken water curtains.

In the workplace, the [supervisors] were yelling and kicking the cloth[es] with their feet.

There is a wcc in this factory, it is useless, they are just doing their job…

I told WCC to install a fan because it was too hot. The water curtains and fans have been broken for a long time, but they have not fixed it yet.

For some reason, I had a problem even transferring my salary to return home. The manager didn't give it to me. The manager told me that they would accept the salary transfer only after the wcc took it out on behalf of the insurance company. I went to the wcc and told them that I didn't receive the salary..

Yangon Region, Hlaingtharya Township, Kembang Tha Road, Shwe Lim Van Industrial Zone, TIANJIN FLASHION MILESTONE…many employees are having trouble.
