"Sincere Season Garment Factory Forced to Work on Sundays", 3 August 2024

We are workers at Sincere Season Garment Factory. The factory is located on Mya Seng Rung Road, Hlaing Tharyar Township.

The factory forces us to work overtime on Sundays. We work overtime every day. We work until 6pm or 8pm. We will also be forced to work tomorrow (August 4)...Since about May, we have been asked to work overtime a lot....

Our living conditions are very difficult, so we are subjected to everything [they] say and do. We cannot work if we don’t want to...

If we don’t work overtime, we are scolded like a dog the next day...

Even though I have to work overtime, I get a 10-minute break at 4 pm.

There are many people in the factory who have not signed an EC contract. There are also many underage workers. HR also interviews and fires children if they are found to be working. They also call day laborers and then fire them.

When the inspection teams come and ask, [the workers] answer as they are taught [by the supervisors].

They don't get paid. They don't get any leave. They don't even give medical leave.

The factory nurse doesn't stay at the clinic. When I ask for medicine, she just looks at the phone and says impatiently that there is no medicine...

There are over 2,000 workers...There is no factory labor union.

The factory produces brands such as Bestsellers, PULL&BEAR, Sinsay, Amisu, and Vero Moda.

Our workers are dying because of the overtime. Please help solve it.
