Supervisors have six months of back pay, while workers have three months of back pay, according to the company’s Assistant Manager Md Abu Taslim. In their most recent statement, the authority assured workers they would be paid by Mar 20. They failed to make the payments and instead instructed workers to show up on Thursday. But when workers came to the factory on Thursday morning the gates were closed and a notice was posted on it announcing the factory was closed indefinitely. Initiatives have been taken to contact factory owners and BGMEA authorities on the matter, he added.
