Deputy Minister for Labour U Win Shein, at the garment factories in Shwelinban and Shwe Thanlwin Industrial zones in Hlinethaya township on 13 January, said that being factory managers, they have to understand that the capacity of skilled workers is the primary factor for timely export of products. He urged them to build fair relationship with workers and employees, must observe and practise the workplace regulations.
The garment industry is the major source of job opportunities and emphasizes the producing skilled workers. Employers and employees stand to benefit through mutual interests. Employees must remain committed to their business, he said.
