'Fix minimum wage for RMG workers'


Karmojibi Nari (KN) expressed concern over the uncertainty to fix the minimum wage for the garment workers.

President of KN Shirin Akhter and General Secretary Sharmin Kabir in joint statement said despite passing of the deadline, there is no sign of implementing the tripartite agreement signed in June 12.

In the statement, the leaders said crisis in garment industry could not be resolved by hanging on the minimum wage at Tk 930 as the price of essentials has increased beyond common people's ability.

They urged the government to immediately fix the minimum wage without dilly-dallying and take initiative to implement all the agreements.
