Dear Myanmar Labour News, 

It is said that officials from Township Labor Department would come to inspect our factory on May 25, 2024. The factory didn’t inform all the workers but selected 15 clerk and 3 veteran workers on May 24  to be inspected.

I heard the inspection is due to the reports from Myanmar Labour News. The factory resolve only the narrow dinning space among the facts mentioned in the news. The other things such as not providing purified water, hot temperature due to not opening the doors, not allowing water bottle, increasing the output demands and verbal abuse are not solved.

The production manager called the clerks on May 24 and tells them to say the inspectors that the issues mentioned in the news are not correct. We heard from the workers that they taught them to answer that we are only asked 25 fabric per hour, we are allowed to take water bottle, they provide purified water and they don’t shut the doors. 

They assigned the clerks to pretend like helpers, seamstresses and workers from other departments.

As a worker, I worried that the problems happening really will not be addressed. I request for the fair inspection.
