Bangladesh’s labour ministry proposed a new minimum wage for the country’s 4.4 million garment workers at 12,500 BDT (113 USD) on Tuesday 7 November. The amount is far below the trade union demand of 23,000 BDT, a wage that research studies confirm is the minimum required to place workers above the poverty line.
Clean Clothes Campaign strongly condemns the violent repression of garment workers demanding a wage increase to 23,000Tk and calls on the government of Bangladesh to immediately ensure that workers’ right to protest is respected. We stand in solidarity with all those mourning the loss of Rasel Hawlader, a garment worker shot while peacefully demanding 23,000Tk as the new minimum wage for the RMG sector in Bangladesh.
