SKOP for Tk 5,000 as minimum pay for workers

---

Labour leaders have demanded a minimum monthly wage of Tk 5000 for labourers and workers. The Sramik Karmachari Oikya Parishad (SKOP), a national platform of labourers and workers, made the demand at a roundtable discussion on minimum wage and poverty at the Dhaka Reporters' Unity Friday. Addressing the discussion, Wajedul Islam Khan, SKOP coordinator and central general secretary of the Bangladesh Trade Union Kendra, said that the minimum wage should be such that labourers and their families may lead a decent life. — bdnews24.com
