Garment workers can expect to receive their Eid bonus by the end of this month and two-third the salaries for May by June 2 as the government looks to avoid any labour unrest that invariably flares up before the festival.
If the factory owners want they can pay the salary for the whole month as opposed to 20 days, said Begum Monnujan Sufian, state minister for labour and employment, at the meeting of the government’s core committee for crisis management that she chaired yesterday.
At the meeting, leaders of the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA), Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association, and Bangladesh Textile Mills Association (BTMA) agreed to stick to the payment schedule.
