"Dictatorial rules in the workplace and worker right violations"

... Lucky Fortune Co., Ltd., which operates with more than 1,000 workers on U Tun Hla Road near the intersection of 14th Road in Shwe Pytha Township, Yangon Region, has labor rights violations and workers say that it is difficult to file a complaint.

Workers are not entitled to casual leave, medical leave, and for not receiving leave, they are paid 5,200 kyats, daily wages...

WCC also understands that the workers' difficulties must be discussed in the workplace, but WCC representatives said that they are working according to the employer's wishes...
