In the exclusive interview with IWFM president Daw Khaing Zar Aung by Myanmar Labor News, she stressed since the military coup in Myanmar, the social welfare system of Myanmar laborers is seriously declined.
 In addition, she added most of the factories in Myanmar are forcing their workers to get paid for their absent days to go to the government social security offices which need another absent day to get these social welfare services. 

However, at the same time, they are forcing their workers not to be absent by threatening them to remove from their current positions. 
Furthermore, after the military coup in Myanmar, other labor rights violation issues such as the removal of pregnant workers from the factory, discrimination among the workers, and denial of labor rights are more and more frequent although most of the workers enjoyed full of their labor rights before the military coup. At the end of the interview,  she ended the conversation by describing the experience of one of the women workers from the garment factory, who experienced discrimination and forced resignation from the factory because of her pregnancy.
 In the recent records by Myanmar Labor News, plenty of labor rights violations by the factory owners including refusing the right of absence of the workers, exchanging annual leave for money by force, discrimination between the factory workers based on their absent days, and hard procedures to absent from the works have been found.
