The FULLWAY Myanmar Garment factory workers said that workers are having a hard time due to excessive requests for garment [targets]...

"Now at the factory, [they] ask for [higher targets] than we can sew. Before, this…was not allowed…we don't even have [time] to drink water. We also sew and [they ask] for [a target of] 100. If we don't [reach] 100, we are fired…," said a worker.

FRISTADS…Winter Cherry [are sewn at the factory]…

It was opened in Shwe Samlwin Industrial Zone in Hlaing Thayar Township…

During working hours, as a garment worker, even to [meet] half of the [target] required by the factory, the workers said that they could not get the [target unless they] cut down their meal time.

If such a standard is not met…the wages received according to the grade level will be reduced and cut. The worker said that the grade was reduced and the OT was not [given], and the workers were separated…

"…If you are sick, you can't go back [home]. If you ask for a doctor, there are often none…

…There are situations where they don't want to give them rights if they are fired," said the worker who is having a hard time.

He said that workers do not have the courage to speak publicly because they have been fired if they report difficulties in the workplace to the relevant offices…

More than 200 people currently working in the [factory] are female workers…

The [factory] should only ask for [targets] that they can handle and not to cut the wages. He said that he wanted to request that health issues [are] not discriminated against.
