"KSHENG Myanmar garment worker were forced to work 8 hours straight through the night", 18 July 2024

Please help me. Because they ask for too much extra time. Workers at KSHENG Myanmar garment factory... are forced to work overtime. Every day until 8 o'clock at night. After eating, I have to sew for the whole day.

At the end of the day, we only have half an hour to eat lunch. We return at 6 pm on Sunday... I have been doing this for over 3 months. Yesterday (July 17th) I was asked to work until daylight.

The workers are tired of working overtime. They get sick due to lack of sleep... "Old people don't want to go down, I don't want to work from early on..."...

...I reported 4 times by phone to the Shwepyitha Township Labor Office (Alara) because I had to work too much. Reported to Yangon Regional Labor Office once...There was no help. I am asking for help because the workers are helpless.

The KSHENG Myanmar factory cut 11 days' salary because they did not report to work for 2 days in April... ...The factory is also closed on the day they are asked to work. It was not a failure on the part of the workers. Before those months, the factory was forced to work on Sundays.

Our workers are suffering a lot, so we have to ask for help.

(According to the information obtained by Myanmar Labor News about KSENG (Myanmar) Apparel factory in April, the factory is located in Thadhukan Industrial Zone, Shwe Pytha Township, Yangon, and is a ... owned factory.
