Port workers call off strike
Workers at Benapole land port withdrew their identified strike yesterday after the authorities accepted their demand for implementation of the government-declared minimum wages. Loading and unloading of goods resumed at the port around 2:00am. Earlier, Benapole Port-handling Workers' Union went on an indefinite strike on June 2 demanding pay hike. Export and import between Bangladesh and India came to a halt as the workers of Petropole Port in India expressed solidarity with the Benapole workers. The workers called off the strike after local lawmaker Sheikh Afiluddin mediated the matter.
