Garment workers protest in Narayanganj demanding overdue wages

Workers of Total Fashion Limited staged a protest today, Wednesday, at Langolbond in Narayanganj's Bandar upazila on the Dhaka-Chittagong highway, demanding their overdue wages. Several workers, speaking on condition of anonymity, said, we are owed 2 to 3 months of salary. We have learned that they are going to shut down the establishment abruptly. Due to this, we were forced to take to the streets to demand our overdue wages. Md Kabir Hossain, administration manager of Total Fashion, said, "The condition of our factory is not very good. We are running the factory. The news of the factory closure is not correct.

Workers' overdue wages will be paid by July 10. Agreeing to this, the workers withdrew their movement." Kazi Wahid Morshed, officer-in-charge (OC) of Kanchpur Highway Police Station, said, "The demands of the workers were presented after talking to the owner authority. When the workers were assured, they moved away from the highway. Traffic movement became normal. If the factory owner authority fails to implement the promise, the owner authority must take the responsibility." Source: RisingBD
