Bangladesh garment workers meet to take place on July 8

Bangladesh readymade garment workers and labour leaders are optimistic about the new wage board becoming a reality. The government is expected to form the Minimum Wage Board for reviewing remunerations of the workers by the end of this month. Additionally, Bangladesh Labour Ministry is scheduled to hold a meeting on July 8 to finalise the process while factory owners’ associations and workers’ organisations have already sent names of their representatives to the Ministry for the Board.

The workers’ representative at the board are expected to place recommendation for a new minimum pay structure which is unlikely to be less than Taka 16,000 as per demands surfacing through the last six months, since the formation of the wage board on January 31.

Meanwhile, Clothing and Garment Workers League President Kamrul Anam urged buyers to share the responsibility to ensure fair living wages for the readymade garment workers so that they can live a decent life. BGMEA previously said the new pay structure would reflect both the requirements of a garments worker and the capacity of an owner. They have already ruled out the possibility of Taka 16,000 as the new wage structure, saying it is an impossible demand.
