A federation of garment workers has demanded emergency allowance and a permanent rationing system for themselves and workers in other sectors as they worked during the coronavirus pandemic to keep the wheels of the economy moving.
The Bangladesh Sangjukto Garments Shramik Federation (United Garments Workers Federation) declared their demands on Sunday in a press release signed by the organisation’s General Secretary, Bazlur Rahman Bablu.
The garment workers demanded that the authorities provide an emergency allowance for them, keep prices of essentials within reach of low-income groups, grant workers permanent status within six months of their start date and provide them full service benefits, lay off workers in writing, refrain from dismissing cases filed for verbally laying off workers, and develop a rationing system for workers’ families within Tk200.
