Violent Wage Protests Could Hit Top Fashion Brands - Bangladesh

Garments workers walk off a factory at lunch break in Ashulia on November 9, 2023, a day after Minimum Wage Board authority declared the minimum wage of 12,500 taka ($ 113) for garment workers. Bangladesh raised the minimum monthly pay for the country's four million garment workers by 56.25 percent on November 7, a decision immediately rejected by unions seeking a near-tripling of the figure. Bangladesh has been gripped by violent protests for two weeks, as thousands of garment workers take to the streets to demand better wages for the country’s four million garment workers. The protests have forced many factories in the country to close, paralyzing the world’s second biggest garment manufacturing hub after China. Dozens of protesters have ended up in the hospital. A protester set fire to a factory which caused the death of 32-year-old worker Imran Hossain, and intense clashes with police resulted in the death of 26-year-old Rasel Howlader, according to the US State Department.
