PM for good owner-worker ties to move forward

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has urged both the owners and workers to be careful about their responsibility to maintain productivity in industries and for their mutual benefit. “The industrial sector suffered a colossal loss in the past due to unwise decision of the owners as well as misguided attitude of the workers, which ultimately hampered country's economy,” she said. “We don’t want to see the same phenomenon in future,” she said today while addressing a discussion organised by Ministry of Labour and Employment at Osmani Memorial Hall in the city marking the historic May Day. The Prime Minister said the government is working for framing a policy to ensure welfare, safety and fair wages of the workers of the non-formal jobs including domestic helps. The government has already taken initiatives for making the policy, which would evaluate the labour of the workers of the non- formal sector and give guarantee of their legitimate wages and safe working atmosphere especially for women, she said. She also called upon the owners to be sympathetic towards the workers and take care about their welfare, education and healthcare service of the family members as well as giving them with a better working atmosphere, according to BSS.
