Garment workers' new demand, set up a govt committee for a durable solution to their grievances
GARMENT workers' violence in Kanchpur of Narayanganj on Tuesday has again left some people injured and properties both public and private damaged. And it is for the umpteenth time that garments workers have taken to the street and gone on a rampage.
For a change though, this time the garment workers were not chanting their usual slogans for pay raise and other benefits from the factory management. On the contrary, they were demanding that house rents in that particular industrial area and at other blocks nearby be lowered and supply of water and gas be ensured.
Yesterday evening on my way back to home, I heard some workers association were demanding for the food and shelters in a meeting. The speaker's was saying that, they do not need an apartment to leave, they only wants an assurance for their food and a minimum shelters for their family.
