The workers said that they have to put finger prints four times per day at the afternoon when they came to work, at the lunch break, after the lunch and in the evening. The employe told them that they will be cut for 500 kyats if they miss finger print for one time via the Chinese woman.

“They cut not only the finger print fines but also many overtimes wages for more than 34 hours. We get paid only 8,400 kyats although we worked for more than 40 hours which means we only get paid for 6 hours.
