Transport workers express solidarity with RMG workers

DHAKA: Expressing solidarity with the rally of readymade garments workers, leaders of transport workers announced that the transport of the country would be halted, if necessary, to realize their demand of Tk 8000 as minimum wage per month.

They also urged the RMG workers not to vandalize vehicles during the movement to press home their demand.

Garments Labourers Coordination Parishad organized the rally on demand of Tk 8000 as minimum wage, reinstating GSP, to stop the conspiracy of locking up women into the house at Suhrawardy Udyan of the city on Saturday afternoon.

In the grand rally, transport workers’ leader Osman Ali said there is no difference between RMG workers and transport workers. “We always want to see your demands realized,” he said.

He also urged the RMG workers not to go under any party’s banner and vandalize vehicles on demand of wage.

Osman Ali added: “If necessary, we will force the government to meet your demand by stopping transports.”
