Bangladesh: RMG workers in EPZs strike for better wages, as apparel sector workers' protests across country continue for third month

"Apparel workers protest at Chattogram EPZ over wage hike", 9 January 2024

Workers at NST Fashion, a garment factory in Chattogram Export Processing Zone (CEPZ), staged a strike...demanding a Tk5,000 raise in their monthly salary.

The protest erupted around 8:30 am and temporarily halted operations at the factory.

The factory authorities eventually intervened and promised a Tk4,000 salary increase, appeasing the workers. 

[...]

According to CEPZ sources, the minimum wage in the zone is Tk12,800 as per the latest regulations set by the Bangladesh Export Processing Authority (Bepza).

[...]

Efforts to resolve the situation are ongoing, with both industrial police and CEPZ officials mediating between management and workers.
