Workers say the collective demand for a wage increase at the Titan Tree Myanmar garment factory has been resolved.

“We can say the factory conceded to almost all demands. We will not receive daily wages for the six days of protest, but we were able to negotiate a subsidy of 20,000 kyats. It was agreed that the demands will take effect from the date the new contracts are signed,” a worker said.

During the six-day protest period, the factory had stated that daily wages and other benefits would not be paid if the protest exceeded three days. Management had also said it could not concede to the 12 demands submitted by workers.

Workers had called for the official announcement of the change in ownership, an increase in the daily wage from 11,000 kyats to 12,000 kyats, overtime pay of 2,200 kyats, and for the attendance bonus to be paid in two installments of 15 days each. They also demanded that attendance bonuses and grade allowances not be deducted for leave days, that grade allowances be increased according to level, that a clinic be established, that sanitation facilities be cleaned, and that overtime on public holidays be paid at double the legal rate.

Negotiations between the factory and workers were held on the evening of February 26. Workers returned to the workplace today after reaching agreement on nearly all points, according to a Federation of General Workers Myanmar (FGWM) official.
