Garment workers demand minimum wage of 32,131 taka
Five alliances of labour organisations have demanded a monthly minimum wage of 32,131 taka for garment workers under the new wage structure.
At the same time, they have demanded that 60 percent of the total wage be basic pay, 50 percent house rent, and an annual increment of 15 percent.
Meanwhile, the second meeting of the board formed to determine the new minimum wage for garment workers has begun.
On Monday (9 November), attention is on what wage figure the workers' representatives will propose.
The five alliances of labour organisations have raised this demand together.
The question of wage determination is now under discussion at the board.
