Haiti Garment Factory Is Accused Of Violating The Wage Treaty.

< p > the a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > clothing factory < /a > in Haiti, an island country in the Caribbean island, takes the production of a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > high-end brand "/a" and retailer foundry products as the main business.

A few days ago, the clothing factory of the country was accused of violating the minimum wage treaty when paying wages, and the daily wage of the workers was only 1/3 of the minimum wage standard, or about 2 dollars.

P, a labor rights group in Haiti, says that 90% of the clothing factories in Port Au Prince are located in Port Au Prince.

The clothing factory in this area pays only 32% of the monthly salary for workers, and the overtime pay is also below the standard requirement.

< /p >

< p > Haiti union of workers' rights (WRC) said that the clothing workers did not work properly due to the working time limit. Even though 20% of their wages were deducted by the owners, they did not notice.

These surveys were carried out in 24 garment factories in 5 countries.

< p > employers are accused of cheating workers' wages in three ways: first, piecework wages are very low or production quotas are relatively high. These two situations lead workers to have no fixed production or get the minimum wage on normal working days.

Secondly, the reference value of overtime pay paid by employers is lower than the minimum wage applicable to workers.

< /p >

< p > finally, in Port Au Prince, < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_p.asp" > Haiti < /a >, the workers occupied a lot of time outside the normal working hours, including the production during the meal hours, and the factory did not compensate them.

< /p >

These actions not only affect the normal incomes of local workers and families, but also violate the laws of Haiti and the codes of conduct established by Haiti clothing brands and retailers in North America.

Haiti ILO is now urging Gap (Gai Pu), Gildan, Hanes, Kohl 's, Levi' s (Levi's), WAL-MART and other brands and retailers to solve this problem.

< /p >

< p > Haiti union of workers' Rights said that the minimum wage should be a necessary and acceptable business cost. International buyers must pay reasonable product prices, so that the compensation for workers in the factory can be regulated and implemented.

< /p >

< p > 2009, Haiti launched the minimum wage law in the clothing industry. Employees who meet the production targets work 8 hours a day, and the wages paid by factories can not be less than 7 dollars.
