Norwegian envoy for basic rights of workers

Norwegian Ambassador to Bangladesh Merete Lundemo on Sunday said everybody must enjoy basic workers’ rights, work in an environment where standards are respected, and receive their share of the wealth created. “Decent work and fair globalisation are important and related objectives on the Norwegian government’s agenda. Everybody must enjoy basic workers’ rights, work in an environment where standards are respected, and receive their share of the wealth created,” she said. She made the remark at a function organised marking the launching of a new project and inauguration of a two-day training at Savar that aimed at promoting better compliance with international labour standards, particularly fundamental principles and rights at work. “We want all companies to be familiar with the national law and international standards. Enhancing labour rights and standards will enhance business,” said Merete Lundemo, according to a news agency.
