Leaders of 20 garment workers right organisations on Sunday called on the interim government to implement the 18-point resolutions of the tripartite committee and taking actions against some alleged ‘plunderer’ garment factory owners.
They organised the press conference at the Dhaka Reporters Unity where president of Garment Workers Trade Union Centre in his written speech said that some garment factory owners were not implementing the 18 resolutions and, as a result, workers of the factories compelled to wage movements.
The decisions included increasing daily attendance allowance and night allowance and paying the due overtime and bills of the workers. Â
He called on the interim government headed by Muhammad Yunus to take actions against the owners and complete implementation of the 18-point decisions which were finalised in the tripartite meeting on September 24 held at labour ministry.
The labour leaders called on the garment workers not to be part of any conspiracy of the owners and continue their work avoiding any misleading movement.
They called on the interim government to give compensations to the family members of the garment workers killed and wounded in the recent student-people movement. Â
Garment labour leader Amirul Haque Amin chaired the programme and garment labour leaders Mushrefa Mishu, Mahbubur Rahman Ismail, Babul Hossain, Taslima Akhter, Kazi Ruhul Amin, Touhidur Rahman and others attended the press conference.
