A leading rights group says it tracked allegations of wage reduction and wage theft, unfair dismissal, inhumane work rates and forced overtime since the military takeover of the South Asian nation.
H&M and Bestseller are among 18 brands that are part of the European Union-funded MADE project aimed at improving labour conditions in Myanmar's garment factories.
A British-based human rights advocacy group tracked 156 cases of alleged worker abuses in Myanmar garment factories from February 2022 to February 2023, up from 56 in the previous year, indicating a deterioration of workers' rights since a military coup in February 2021. "All the cases raised in the report by BHRRC are being followed up and where needed remediated through our local team on the ground and in close co-operation with relevant stakeholders," H&M said in a statement.
The BHRRC has been tracking allegations of workers' rights abuses in garment factories since the military junta took power in Myanmar, plunging it into political and humanitarian crisis. The tracker includes abuse cases at 124 separate factories.
