Siddiqur Rahman, superintendent of Gazipur Industrial Police-2, said workers of Bay Footwear, M&W Fashion, Eva Fashion, Bindu Fashion and Green Sweater Factory protested in four areas of Gazipur City Corporation yesterday. Workers of M&W Fashion alleged they had not received their wages for the last three months. Additionally, when their factory reopened recently the management did not even maintain minimum safety measures to prevent workers from being infected with coronavirus. This enraged the current batch of workers, who joined the protesting workers yesterday, they said. Workers of Green Sweater Factory also alleged that they had not been paid for February and March, which forced them to take to the streets.
