Hosheng Myanmar is a garment factory in Yangon, Myanmar. Hosheng Myanmar Garment Co. Ltd. is owned by Chinese nationals and is affiliated with international brands such as Zara and Inditex. The Hosheng workers’ union was born a few months ago in the hope of fighting for their rights and organising strikes. The daily pay rate for each worker was reportedly $2. The union recently had a strike campaign to ask for a pay increase of $3 US daily from the original $2 US, leading 600 workers from the garment factory not to work since 14 June.
As junta charges organising workers with incitement, Inditex plans phased exit from Myanmar
