"Workers who quit their jobs are being exploited without paying full wages", 9 September 2024

A worker has alleged that the leaders of the AYY Garment factory, located at No. (-), Thamain Baram Street, near Dagon University, Eastern Township, Dagon New Town, are exploiting workers who quit their jobs.

[...]

Workers came to [receive] their salaries, but they did not pay them, the leaders exploited them, [They said they] "...did not pay the cloth allowance" because the workers were violating the labor law...

"[They] did not pay the wages, so we called the labor office...Then we waited for a while and were [told] not allowed to enter the factory. HR did not come out and asked the line super to come out and pay. When we [were] paid, the wages were deducted from the 21st, so we [were] only paid the Sunday pay and paid 9 days' wages. We did not [receive] the cloth allowance. The manager took the cloth allowance. The salary was 104,000 for 9 days...

In the factory, the manager gets 100,000 for the cloth allowance, and all super[visors] get 50,000, He also said that although the manager distributes the remaining 50,000...to the line workers, there is discrimination in payment, with different salaries for each worker, even though they are the same in [pay] grade.
