Workers at Adidas Factory in Myanmar Strike for Living Wage

Tsang Yih Shoe Factory in Hlaing Tharyar Township is one of the largest Adidas footwear suppliers, employing around 6,800 workers. Currently, workers are paid just 5,200 kyats a day, or less than US$1.20 at the market rate.
According to a web source, retail price of a kilo of chicken is US$ 2.06 to $3.84 per kilo in Myanmar. https://www.selinawamucii.com/insights/prices/myanmar/chicken-meat/
Adidas workers are earning $US1.20 PER DAY. That means working the whole day at Adidas will not buy a single meal for these workers.
Thank you for sharing this. Good info.
