RMG workers demand Eid bonus before 20th Ramadan
Friday, 4 July 2014
Ready-made garment workers demanded to pay their Eid bonuses and arrears before the 20th of Ramadan, according to a news agency.
Addressing a rally in front of the Jaitya Press Club Friday in the capital, workers’ leaders also demanded Eid bonus amounting to the salaries of the workers.
They said many garment owners have already gone abroad in the name of
marketing so that they can avoid paying bonuses and salaries of workers before Eid.
Chaired by Garment Workers’ Trade Union Centre president Sadekur Rahman Shamim, the rally was addressed, among others, by its general secretary Kazi Ruhul Amin, workers’ leaders KM Mito, Ziaul Kabir and Iqbal Hosain.
