I believe owners in the sector which contributes a lot to the economy, will not take away jobs because of their absence,” Rubana Huq said. The BGMEA president also guaranteed that workers will be paid wages for the month of March. “There is no scope for unwillingness or hesitation in paying apparel workers, wages for the month of March, and we of course will pay it in time,” she added.
