The Garment Workers' Oikya Forum made on Wednesday a six-point demand including immediate payment of festival allowances of the Tuba Group workers and reopening of the closed units.
The Forum also announced its next movement to realise their demands.
Moshrefa Mishu, president of the Forum, made the six-point demand at a press briefing held in the city.
"Pay the Tuba Group Workers festival allowance, open the closed units and run them according to the law," she said.
The workers observed hunger strikes for 11 days but their demands are yet to be fully met, she said adding they had no other option but to opt for hunger strike.
The workers are still in the dark about the festival allowances, she added.
The demands also included scrapping of Tuba Group MD Delwar Hossain's anticipatory bail and giving him the death penalty.
The government should seize the Tuba Group MD's wealth and passport so that he could flee the country.
The other demands are legal action against Badda Police Station OC MA Jalil, compensation for the hunger strikers, withdrawal of cases filed against labour leaders and workers, stopping termination of workers across the country and allowing trade unions in all garment factories including the EPZs.
The Forum has called a rally at Shahbagh on August 17 to express solidarity to the Tuba Group workers' movement and workers' gathering on August 20 at Badda to realise their six-point demand.
