In the meeting, MK Alamgir assured the owners and leaders of hundred percent security measures.
BGMEA vice president Shahidullah Azim told banglanews: “Few days ago we shut the factories as workers started creating chaos and we felt lack of security.”
He added: “We have taken decision to resume production as home minister assured us.”
On May 14, BGMEA shut down all garment factories for indefinite period in Ashulia area as readymade garments workers started observing work abstention and demonstration demanding pay rise and trial of labour killings.(banglanews24.com)
