BanglaPress Desk: Worker representatives have demanded a minimum wage of 32,000 taka for garment workers. They have submitted a proposal to this effect to the Minimum Wage Board. The workers' side presented this proposal during a meeting of the Minimum Wage Board on Monday (November 9), as confirmed by board members following the session.
However, the chairman of the Minimum Wage Board, Syed Azad Subhani, stated during a briefing after the board's second meeting on Monday that the representatives of the employers have not yet submitted a written proposal. They have been granted four working days to provide their written proposal on the matter.
Previously, the first meeting of the Minimum Wage Board took place on November 4. During that meeting, representatives for both the workers and the employers agreed that the new minimum wage for the garment sector would come into effect starting in December.
