Bangladesh Clothing Factory Owners: Workers Wages Increased To 5000 Taka

Most of the garment factories in Bangladesh say they have no condition to raise the minimum wage of workers from the current 1662.50 Taka to 5000 Tucca.

The rising cost of production is one of several reasons for buyers to ask for cheaper prices. Therefore, the owners of garment factories can not meet the minimum wage requirement of workers.

Last month, workers from several factories carried out numerous protest assemblies, pushing factory owners to carry out their demands and raise the minimum wage.

An expert described in detail the challenges facing the garment and garment industry. He said delivery timeliness is the most important issue.

So the clothing sector is out of the global economic crisis, but they are still dragged down by the energy crisis, which has led to a reduction in output.

Workers' low skills have led to a decline in production, but factory owners should continue to follow the wage Bureau's resolutions on wage implementation.

Another expert said that the clothing and garment department is not suitable for raising the minimum wage to 5000 Tucca, which will lead to an increase in production costs.

But he still believes that the wages of workers should be raised, at least in line with the 7 level wages of garment workers advocated by the wage Bureau.

With the squeeze of natural gas and energy, another problem of garment and clothing department is the rising price of yarn at home. The rise of yarn price follows the rise of global raw cotton prices.

All this has put pressure on the owners of garment factories.

The workers claim that raising their wages is quite Holland, but the damage to factories and road maintainers is not the right way to stretch their demands.

They should talk face-to-face with factory owners and discuss their requirements, an industrial expert said.
