Fix RMG workers' wage through talks
RMG industry is undoubtedly the major thrust sector in our country and garment workers are the driving force of this sector. But it is a matter of regret that the garment workers cannot lead a decent life with their minimum salary. So their demand for wage hike is certainly logical. Luckily, our government has realised the necessity of increasing the wage of the workers under extensive criticism from around the globe. But shipping minister Shajahan Khan's involvement to gain political leverage ahead of the election by winning the hearts of the workers was completely absurd because it instigated the workers.
One must consider whether the small and medium factories of the country are able to give the workers tk 8,114 a month. The role of the small and medium factories behind the country's sustainable development cannot be ignored. It is very important to fix the minimum salary of the workers through discussion in an atmosphere of understanding among the stakeholders.
