後續行動: The delay in payment was initially investigated by the Ministry of Labour, with delays to wages beginning in June owing to slow international money transfers from a parent company in China. Workers had been provided with temporary financial relief, while the company had said it would pay missing wages the week after the protest. One worker leader from Myanmar said he believed the factory had already paid the subcontractors but had not passed the money onto the workers themselves. The Resource Centre reached out to Rojana Industrial Park Founder PCB and its parent Huafa Group for a response. Rojana Industrial Park did not respond, but Founder PCB did respond, including inviting Rojana Industrial Estate to outline its relationship with the factory, and to disclose any human rights due diligence it undertakes on businesses operating in its industrial parks. Founder PCB said the company has consistently complied with all laws, regulations, and ethical standards, fulfilled its contractual duties without violations, and encourages partners to do the same. The Resource Centre could not verify the identity of the Chinese factory to invite it to respond.

8 月16 日,在巴真府(Prachinburi)西瑪哈縣(Sri Maha Pho)的洛加納(Rojana)工業園區的一家中資工廠前,700 多名來自緬甸和柬埔寨的外來務工人員舉行了抗議活動,並封鎖了工廠的進出通道。由於兩個月沒有收到工資,這些工人要求工廠支付全額工資,並拒絕讓貨車進入工廠,直到達成談判為止。自昨晚以來,抗議活動愈演愈烈,目前尚無解決跡象。
工人們面臨日益嚴重的經濟壓力,包括房租繳納問題等。他們拒絕了工廠最初提出的每人 500 泰銖的臨時救濟方案。一名工人代表說:「我們已經等了兩個多月,卻沒有收到任何工資,我們不再相信分包商的承諾。這次的提議只讓抗議者更加憤怒」...
據工人代表閔先生(Mr. Min)稱,這家中資工廠透過 11 家不同的中國分包商僱用工人。其中一家分包商已經連續三個月拖欠工人的薪水了。據報道,工廠先前已向三家主要分包商分發了100萬泰銖,每家收到 30 萬泰銖,用於支付工人的房租。
然而,工人們要求工廠支付全額工資,導致談判陷入僵局。每名工人都被拖欠了大量工資,而問題仍未解決,仍有400多名工人在工廠外守候。許多女工已返回宿舍,等待進一步的消息。
緬甸工人領袖昂先生(Mr. Aung)對分包商深表懷疑,他說,工廠已經向分包商支付了款項,但這些資金並沒有發放給工人...
