Unrest in garments sector
Recently, we saw another bout of unrest in our apparel industries at Savar. It was seen that miscreants were burning and plundering industries in broad daylight. From the government side it was claimed that the garment workers were not involved in this heinous crime.
Now the question is who are behind this crime and why it is recurring. Are they garment workers and if they are so, why are they resorting to violence or is it sabotage? Garment workers are paid very little and it is a fact. What have the owners done to upgrade their living standard and their overall conditions? Marginalized workers get a paltry amount and cannot make their both ends meet.
Garment workers work from dawn to dusk in unhealthy conditions and they also live in bad conditions. But some owners are exploiting them like anything.
They should come forward to resolve the crisis.
