Myanmar's labor authorities have designated minimum basic daily wages for workers employed at garment factories where strikes have taken place since in early May, a local media reported Wednesday.

The workers ended their strike after their demands were acceded to by their employers, said the 7-Day News.

The basic pay, prescribed as 1000 kyats (1.25 U.S.dollars) per day plus other living allowances and rewards for good performances, was set to take effect starting this month.

The working hours set for the employees are 44 hours a week while overtime will be 22 hours per week.

Workers' strike demanding for raising basic monthly pay to at least 20,000 kyats (60.24 U.S.dollars) and overtime wage as well as non-deduction of pay for leave lasted for nearly a month.

36,810 strikers from about 57 factories, mostly in Yangon, staged labor strikes during May.

There have been 25 labour organizations formed under the Labor Organization Law which comprise one Labour Federation, 10 Basic Employers Organizations and 14 Basic Labour Organizations.
