Workers from factories in various parts of Dhaka took to the streets on Saturday. “The workers are trying to block the road,” Vasantek Police OC Munshi Sabbir Ahmad told bdnews24.com around 11 am. The new wage structure in the readymade garments sector is to take effect from January. The government formed a committee to re-evaluate the wage structure soon after the workers took to the streets to demand fair pay. State Minister for Labour Monnujan Sufian has promised that none of the workers will receive a lower wage than they did before.
