Dong Nai workers strike over poor working conditions
Some 750 workers of a Korean-owned company in the southern province of Dong Nai went on strike Wednesday as they were forced to work overtime yet not given proper care, including rights to use the bathroom freely.
The workers from MJ Apparel Ltd. Co. in Bien Hoa Town said under the company’s regulations, each worker was allowed to use the bathroom just two times per shift.
A report by the Bien Hoa Labor Union said that in each group of 50 people, only three people were allowed to go to the bathroom at a time, closely watched by security guards.
The report also said that the company was not paying the workers’ social and health insurance as regulated and the meals served were very poor in nutrition.
The town’s labor union on the same day asked the MJ Apparel comply with labor regulations, including removing restrictions on the workers’ bathroom use.
