Saturday, 19 September 2009
Country's labour organisations should work focusing more on realising workers interest instead of serving different quarters and narrow political interest with a view to maintaining a smooth worker-owners relations as well as for the smooth industrialization, reports BSS.
"We have a unique type of trade union practice in our country which can't be found in the globe. Some of the vested quarters can use trade unions as a weapon in the absence of rules and good practices to stage strikes and involve in vandalism on trifling matters", said Mohibul Ezdani Khan Dablu, a Bangladeshi expatriate residing in Sweden, actively involved in the Swedish national trade union.
In many cases, vested groups in the labour organisations usually exploit the workers for securing the respective interest.
Labour organisation should not act like front organisations of certain quarters other than the labourers themselves.
"Our workers need to understand that a lockout factory causes more harm to the workers than the owners", Dablu said, who is the elected vice-president of Stockholm Austra Club of the union of service and communication employees.
A new labour law is needed in the country to improve the owners and workers relation especially in the ready-made garment (RMG) sector for ensuring its growth during the ongoing global economic recession, he observed.
The Swedish labour organisation provides support to different labour organisations around the globe in strengthening their democratic practice and development, he said.
"If the government wishes I can make lobby in Sweden in this connection", said Dablu, who was a close associate of Sheikh Kamal, elder son of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
