ETI and its members support international calls for Myanmar’s new minimum wage to be applied countrywide. We have articulated this stance in a letter to the Myanmar government, urging it to resist the request for an exemption from the country’s garment manufacturers.

ETI has issued a joint call with leading MSIs in the global apparel industry for urgent action to protect over 500,000 workers in Myanmar’s garment industry.
