Around three hundred workers of a ready made garment factory blocked the Dhaka-Mymensingh highway in Gazipur's Basan area this morning to press home their 14-point demands, including Eid-ul-Fitr bonus.
Gazipur Industrial Police Inspector Faruk Hossain told that the workers of the factory took position on the road at Telipara around 8:30am, halting vehicular movement in the area.
However, traffic movement returned to normal around noon following discussions between the factory owners, the police and workers, said Traffic Police Inspector Abdullah Al Mamun.
This correspondent tried several times to talk to the factory owners but was unsuccessful.
Overtime bill, maternity leave, night allowance of Tk 190, tiffin allowance, dinner allowance, minimum salary of Tk 12,500, and cancellation of worker termination are among their 14-point demands.
