RMG workers propose Tk32,000 as minimum wage

Garment workers representatives have proposed setting the minimum monthly wage for garment workers at Tk32,000. 

They submitted the proposal to the Minimum Wages Board at a meeting on Monday.

Board members shared the information after the meeting.

However, Minimum Wages Board Chairman Syed Azad Subhani said the employers' representatives had not yet submitted any written proposal. They have been given four working days to submit their proposal.

The first meeting of the Minimum Wages Board was held on November 4. At that meeting, representatives of both workers and employers agreed to introduce the new minimum wage for garment workers from December.
