DagonKhan Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Worker benefits increase but awareness stays low Burma’s workers are losing out on social benefits because they are not aware of their privileges, according to a labour official. In a Wednesday briefing with the Rangoon regional parliament, Zaw Aye Maung of the Social Security Board under the Ministry of Labour, explained what the ministry is doing to increase both benefits and general rights awareness. The official said that 21 clinics were established in the region, and that workers covered under the Social Welfare Law can be reimbursed for medical expenses if they visit the facilities. “Workers were given smart-cards at their respective factories and premises,” he said. “They have the right to go to the clinic and seek treatment.” Continues here:- http://www.dvb.no/news/worker-benefits-increase-but-awareness-stays-low-burma-myanmar/43587 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
