Partial salaries and bonuses of the workers of GM and JC Composite Limited in Gazipur have been paid following the intervention of the district administration.

Garment workers can expect to receive their Eid bonus by the end of this month and two-third the salaries for May by June 2 as the government looks to avoid any labour unrest that invariably flares up before the festival. If the factory owners want they can pay the salary for the whole month

Garment workers stage demonstrations demanding payment of Eid bonus and salary seven days before Eid-ul-Azha.

Every year, there is a brouhaha surrounding wages and Eid bonuses of RMG workers; it is unfortunate that, this year, too, was no exception.
