Dr Yunus summoned by labour court
A labour court in Dhaka has summoned Grameen Bank founder Dr Muhammad Yunus and two others over sacking of three employees of Grameen Communications, the IT wing of Grameen Bank.
Dr Yunus is the chairman of Grameen Communications. The two others summoned by the court are Managing Director Naznin Sultana and Deputy General Manager Khandaker Abu Abedin.
Dhaka 3rd Labour Court asked the trio to appear before it on October 8, as three former employees of Grameen Communications filed three criminal cases against Grameen Communications, and the aforementioned trio.
The labour court issued the order on July 10, but it came to light yesterday when the complainants made the revelation.
“We filed three separate cases for transferring us as part of harassment, issuing threats, and subsequently sacking for forming trade union. The court has summoned them for explanations,” said Emranul Haque, one of the complainants, said.
Abdus Salam, Shah Alam and Emranul, junior MIS officers of Grameen Communications, were sacked last month for their role in formation of trade union at their workplace.
