BGWUC Chairman MdTowhidur Rasdfssdfshmasdfssdfsn said at the National Press Club (NasdfssdfstionasdfssdfslPressClub) press conference in Dakar: Due to inflation and sharp increases in rents, the cost of living has increased unexpectedly. Therefore, there is a need to increase the minimum wage for garment workers.
MdTowhidurRasdfssdfshmasdfssdfsn also called for a 65% increase in the minimum wage for seventh-grade workers (seventh-grasdfssdfsdfsdeworkers) from 600 taka in 2006. In the salary structure of Bangladesh’s garment workers, Level 7 is the lowest level; in terms of the garment industry, Level 7 labor positions include: assistant sewing, assistant dry cleaning, ironing, etc.
Bangladesh media quoted MdTowhidurRasdfssdfshmasdfssdfsn as saying: After 2006, four other salary structures were announced. Unfortunately, these were all aimed at lowering the salary structure in the name of granting other allowances. The basic salary means that garment workers cannot receive due compensation when they leave or are fired. </p
