Several hundred RMG workers yesterday demonstrated at their factory in Dhaka Export Processing Zone in Savar of Dhaka protesting “unpaid overtime”.

At least five persons also sustained minor injuries in a clash between the workers of FCI Ltd and its management staff, DEPZ sources said.

The workers alleged that the authorities forced them to work for additional two-and-a-half hours with no payment, violating the factory rules. The plant was shut for the day by the authorities who could not be contacted for comments despite repeated attempts.
