'Ensure right to trade union at garment factories'

They observed the recent agitation of garment workers in and around the capital and demanded solution to the worker's problem rather than suppressing them.

The leaders demanded that the government ensure trade union rights of the garment workers, regular payments of salary and wages, maternity leave for women workers, re-fix minimum wage and take adequate measures to stop fire accidents.

They cautioned the workers to be aware as the factory owners are trying to foil their movement without realising their demands.

Abu Sayeed Khan presided over the meeting where Dr Beena Shikder, Dr Mushtak Hossain and Advocate Ruhul Kuddus Babu were also present.
