A group of Vietnamese interns told the press that a Japanese garment firm in Ehime Prefecture owes them 27 million yen (US$193,000).

 

The group of 11 women held a meeting with the press on Wednesday and said KoshimizuHifukukogyo company in the western prefecture of Ehime declared bankruptcy without paying them 27 million yen as payment for overtime work since 2020 as promised, according to an NHK report.

 

The interns said the company indicated on Nov. 7 that it would declare bankruptcy after initially saying it would gradually pay each between 2.2 and 2.6 million yen, including compensation for late payment.
