BALTWF demands cancellation of UZ-based transport workers union

Bangladesh Auto-Rickshaw Light Vehicle Transport Workers Federation (BALTWF) has demanded the cancellation of a gazette notification, issued by the Ministry of Labour and Employment on February 8, 2023, allowing the upazila-based workers unions instead of existing district-based union, reports UNB.
The federation made the demand from a joint representatives meeting of its district units at Bangladesh Shishu Kalyan Parishad in the city.
The BALTWF said the new gazette notification was issued with an ill motive to curtail the trade union rights of the transport workers.
